R502       *Allowable servos. Servo actuators must meet the requirements below. Servos must be compatible with the power regulation devices they are ultimately used with (per R505) and may include additional servo position output interfaces (e.g., 4th Wire Position Feedback).

Actuator Class

Mechanical Output Power

Stall Current

Example Servos (including, but not limited to)

Servo

≤ 8 watts @6V

≤ 4 amps @6V

AndyMark High-Torque Servos (am-4954)

Axon MAX+ Servo (Axon MAX+)

DSSERVO 35KG Coreless (DS3235MG)

FEETECH Digital Servo (FT5335M-FB)

goBILDA Dual Mode Servo (2000-0025-0003)

REV Robotics Smart Servo (REV-41-1097)

Studica Multi-Mode Smart Servo (75002)

Linear Servo

N/A

≤ 1 amps @6V

Actuonix Micro Linear Servo (P8-100-252-12-R)

Hitec Linear Servo (HLS12-3050-6V)

Studica Linear Servo RC Actuator (75014)

Servo mechanical output power is approximated by the following formula (using 6V data reported by manufacturer):

·         Mechanical Output Power = 0.25 x (Stall Torque in N-m) x (No Load Speed in rad/s)

Servos must meet both requirements to be legal for use. Refer to the Inspection Quick Reference document for a list of servos that are pre-approved, otherwise teams must be able to provide documentation verifying servo specifications. Use the online calculator to verify output power compliance.

If a manufacturer does not provide 6V specs, any specs for voltages that exceed 6V are allowed to be used.

Stall current is the maximum stall current possible for the device at the specified voltage, regardless of any user or VENDOR adjustable software limits that may be available within the servo.

It is important to ensure the voltage provided by the intended power regulation device is within the operating voltage range of the desired servo. The REV Control Hub and REV Expansion Hub provide 5V to servos, and the goBILDA Servo Power Injector, REV Servo Power Module, Studica Servo Power Block, and REV Servo Hub provide 6V to servos. While virtually all servos are compatible with 6V, servos with an operating voltage range of 6-8.4 DCV, for example, may not work properly when only provided 5V.
