FUTABA: S9152 & S9153 Digital servos

Model Airplane News, Mar 2004

Looking for big muscle with less heat? Both of these high-torque servos feature an innovative aluminum case that acts as a heat sink and reduces inside temperatures by as much as 30 degrees compared with servos with molded plastic cases. The sophisticated microprocessor technology inside these digital servos means a cleaner, clearer signal for smoother, sharper response. Each servo measures 1.9×1.6×1 inches and weighs 2.6 ounces. The S9152 digital rudder servo produces 277.6 oz.-in. of torque and can move 60 degrees in 0.19 second (at 6 volts); the S9153 digital aileron/elevator servo produces 222 oz.-in. of torque and can move 60 degrees in 0.16 second. Each will retail for $149.99.
