PQ12-R Micro Linear Servos for RC & Arduino
The PQ12-R series micro linear servos operate as a direct replacement for standard rotary servos. They use the same standard 3 wire connector, ground, power and control. Regardless of how you drive your servos, be it with an RC receiver, an Arduino board, or a VEX micro-controller, the PQ12-R servo will function in place of a regular servo, but with the added benefit of providing linear motion.
Details
If you're looking for the smallest linear servo that can handle a max force of up to 11lbs, then the PQ12-R series is for you!
The PQ12-R comes in 3 unique models featuring:
- Stroke length of 20mm (0.78")
- 3 gearing options for maximum forces between 18N (4lbs) and 50N (11lbs)
- Available in 6V
NOTE: The PQ12-R will not operate with Futaba receivers like the R6014FS that output 2.7 volts. You will need a Smart Fly Power Expander or Orbit Power Jack to bring the signal level up to 5vdc for the PQ12-R to operate.
Check out our video for an example of the PQ12 in action. This is the Baxter Robot fitted with our own AR10 robotic hand driven by the PQ12.
