micro servo

[darran hogbenParticipant @darranhogben83315]

i am looking for micro servos that have a rotation angle of greater than 180 but less than 360 degrees.i have found some from feetech but they have a continuous turn on them, does anyone know of a servo that goes up to about 240-300 degrees? thanks

Micro servos, no.

Standard size, there are drum winches that you can gear down or use pulleys plus any end point adjustment that your transmitter offers.

A micro servo "could" be fitted with gears to gear up to the required angles. Since all servos use a rather standard potentiometer to sense their position, and such servos only have a track covering 270 degrees, that gives a final limit. Electrically, most servos only use the middle 90 which allows them to be used with a wide range of radios. To avoid mashing the pot wipers through the end stops, servo stretchers tend not to go beyond 180 degrees.

Multi turn winches usually have an extra gearbox before the pot, so the output shaft does whatever turns it says to move the pot through its 90 degrees. Some winches used a "10 turn pot", thus getting 3 1/3 turns.

Continuous turn types typically lack the position sensing and are just a motor, gearbox and ESC in one package.
