MG90S Metal Gear Micro Servo - 1.8kg-cm Torque
MG90S Metal Gear Micro Servo – 1.8kg-cm Torque
The MG90S is a micro servo motor with metal gears, offering improved durability over the common SG90. It operates at 4.8-6V, delivering up to 1.8 kg-cm of torque, making it suitable for small robotics, RC vehicles, and animatronics. This servo features a compact design and smooth rotation, ideal for applications where size and weight are constraints.

Compatibility
This servo works with any microcontroller or servo driver that outputs a standard PWM signal, including Arduino Uno, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi (with external power). It's commonly paired with the PCA9685 servo driver for multi-servo projects. Draws peak current around 700mA at stall, so an external 5V supply is recommended when using multiple servos.
Wiring Notes
Connect the brown wire to ground, red to 4.8-6V power, and orange to the PWM signal pin. Avoid powering it directly from the Arduino 5V pin for more than one servo; use a separate power source. A 100μF capacitor across the power lines helps reduce voltage spikes.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino Uno?
Yes, it uses the standard Servo library. Just connect the signal wire to any digital pin and power externally if using multiple servos.
Can it rotate 360 degrees?
No, this is a standard 180-degree positional servo. For continuous rotation, you would need a different model or modification.
Does it include mounting screws and horns?
Yes, each servo comes with a set of plastic horns and mounting screws.
