Servo motor selection

Hi,
I’m doing a design project that requires a servo motor to be back drivable and needs to give torque feedback. Could y’all please tell me if y’all have any options or any alternatives options that I can look into from your catalog.

Hope to hear from y’all soon.

Hello @Menaker297460,

Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like the Waveshare series might be what you’re after, here are some suitable options from our catalog:

  • 2.3kg Serial Bus Servo with Two-Way Feedback
    A compact servo providing position and torque feedback, ideal for lightweight applications requiring precise control and back-drivability.
  • 20kg Bus Servo Motor (106 RPM)
    A higher torque option that supports full 360° positioning with built-in feedback on position, speed, and load. This servo is also back-drivable and well-suited for more demanding projects.
  • Serial Bus Servo Driver Board
    This driver board is essential for controlling the above servos. It supports UART communication and handles the serial bus protocol these servos use, allowing you to send commands and receive detailed feedback such as torque/load data.

Please feel free to ask any further questions!

Is there any higher torque servo motors, more than 50kg.cm ??

Hi @Menaker297460 ,

Unfortunately, it looks like the closest servo that meets your requirements is the 40kg Metal Serial Bus Servo (Which still requires the serial bus servo driver board linked above).
