How the Full Metal MG945 Works

The MG945 servo motor operates using a DC motor coupled with a potentiometer feedback system. A PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal from a microcontroller controls the angular position of the servo within its 0–180° range.

The full metal gears transmit torque efficiently, allowing the servo to move heavier loads without stripping or deforming. The high-precision potentiometer ensures smooth and accurate motion, even under demanding tasks.

Example Project

A popular project is building a robotic arm. By combining multiple MG945 full metal servos, you can create joints and grippers capable of handling moderate to heavy objects with precise control.

Another example is a pan-and-tilt camera system for a security robot. Two MG945 servos can control horizontal and vertical camera movement, allowing smooth and accurate tracking of moving targets.

This servo is also perfect for RC vehicles that require high torque steering mechanisms capable of handling rough terrain or heavy loads.
