Actually the torque is the same, no matter the length of the servo arm. It's the FORCE applied that changes. The torque is a fixed number for the servo.

Tiago de Pádua Correct. Torque = force * lever length. Okay, technically the lever length is called "moment arm" or something like that, but I'm keeping it simple so non-nerds can understand it better.

44R0Ndin Let's try working that formula with actual numbers. force * lever length = torque 5 *10 = 50 5 * 20 = 100 Looks like torque changes when you change the lever length even though the force stayed consistent.

SuperLoopholes Exactly as I expected. Of course, if you hold torque constant in the equation, shorter lever arms apply more force. torque = force * lever length 2 oz-in = 0.5 oz, 4 inch arm. 2 oz-in = 1 oz, 2 inch arm. 2 oz-in = 2 oz, 1 inch arm Mechanical advantage. It's all about ratios.

SuperLoopholes That would be correct if You'd be turning a servo shaft by constant force applied to the lever. Torque would change. In our case servo produces some torque on a shaft, regardless of how long the lever is. And the longer the lever the less force You have on a pushrod and more it travels.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="690">11:30</a> Alright Torque is the Lever arm length times the Force of the thrust. T=LxF So for a lever arm 1" long and a Force of 100 oz you get T=1 in x 100 oz = 100 oz-in of torque. Unlike what they say at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="690">11:30</a> as the lever gets longer the torque doesn't change. The torque is the torque. However as the lever gets longer the force goes down. There is an inverse relationship between the lever length and the max force of the thrust. As one goes up the other goes down.

Learnt from experience to always pay extra and get metal gear servos, that way they won't strip and when move up you can just take all your electronics with you. Best servos for acro I've used so far are the Corona 929MG. Excellent upgrade just to replace the standard 9g servos most planes seem to use these days are dirt cheap ($5.50 per unit from Hobby King).

Here's some basic Motors 101 for you: There are many types of motors used in almost everything: Brushed motors Coreless motors Induction motors 3-phase motors Brushless motors Synchronous motors Permanent magnet motors Stepper motors Almost every motor has three parts: the stator, the rotor, and the commutator. The stator is the magnet that does not rotate. In a brushed motor, it is just a permanent magnet, as it is in a coreless or a permanent magnet motor. In a brushless motor, an induction motor, a stepper motor, or a synchronous motor, it is a set of coils. The rotor is the rotating element. In coreless motors, the rotor is just a set of coils. In an induction motor, it is the squirrel cage assembly. In a brushed motor or a synchronous motor, it is a set of coils wound on laminated metal. In a brushless motor, a stepper motor, or a permanent magnet motor, the rotor is a permanent magnet. And finally, the commutator is responsible for the timing. In a brushed motor and a coreless motor, the commutator is a brush. In a brushless motor like that in a computer fan, the commutator uses hall effect sensors. In larger motors like those in drones and planes, the ESC relies on timing alone. Induction motors have no commutator. Synchronous motors use slip-rings to provide power to the rotor, but do not use a commutator for timing. Stepper motors require a special controller and have no commutator.

My guess is that it uses a hall effect sensor to sense position rather than a potentiometer. This has the benefit of a longer lasting servo since hall effect sensors have no physical wear like potentiometers where there's a wiper arm skimming across a resistive surface. I also believe this to be true because Peter physical rotated the servo a few times in one direction where if it was a normal potentiometer it would only rotate to the endpoints of the pot.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, or if this is even correct, but i THINK the reason they move the servo 1 inch to measure the torque is because in the U.S. torque units are pounds per foot or 'foot pounds' etc so moving 1 inch is easy to convert to ft/lbs because it is 1/12 of a foot.... i'm just speculating haha i'm not totally sure. -Colton

The 1 inch is just to make your life easier, you could measure it at a different distance, but then you'd have to multiply the reading to get the actual torque. It's easier to just be able to read the number straight off of your force sensor\scale.

Thanks for the info, only correction is torque remained the same regardless of the length of the lever arm what changes is the forever or load, further you go out on the arm, greater throw but less forage. Think of a pry bar. Torque of 1lb/in says at one inch from the center of rotation is equal to 1 lb of force, go out 2 inches you get 0.5 lb of force go out 1/2" you get 2 lbs of force.

By making your distance = 1 [inch], it simplifies the calculation. The torque equation is: Torque = Force * Distance (T = F*d). Torque = Force * 1 Torque = Force (force x 1 is equal to force) ** Do note, this is in units of [lbs-in], not [lbs-ft] of torque.**

The servo torque is related to the gearing inside the servo and the supplied voltage. This torque will drop off as the supply voltage drops off as the battery is drained. However, the more interesting part is the use of mechanical advantage between the servo arm, rod and control horn for the surface, this is what really needs to be explained. As mechanical advantage is always a trade off between movement of the control surface versus servo resolution. Precision movement of the surface is desired without loosing too much resolution from the servo .

First, it's a rotor, because it rotates. In an outrunner that's a stator, but in an inrunner like a servo motor, it's a rotor :) And it's 1 inch because if you measure the force from anything else, it won't be INCH-ounces. Torque is the force times the distance from the pivot. Inches, feet, meters, whatever.

The difference between an analog and digital servo is that with analog servos the motor control is synced to the control signal where with a digital servo it's independent. Some digital servos are also limited to relatively low control signal frequency e.g. the MSK DS1210 can only accept a control frequency up to 120hz.

HeadShot360IN Actually, brushless motor has two subcategories: inrunner and outrunner. Inrunner has windings fixed (outside, close to the casing) and rotor (with magnets) spinning, while outrunner is what you describe - it has fixed (central) stator with coil, and spinning bell (magnets are outside, attached to the cylinder).

Your torque unit of measure is (ounce-inch). Because you are using an (ounce) scale, if you move out only one (inch), that allows you to use the scale reading as an (ounce-inch). Torque= Length x Force.

An analogue servo can actually be driven at much higher frequencies than 50Hz, given the correct signal, because the servo angle is determined by the duty cycle, which at max is about 2ms and the signal period is normally 20ms. I.e. in theory almost 500Hz is possible. I have done this for the autopilot I was developing and it worked great for some servos, but some servos get very unhappy.

Nice informative video, folks. I would, however, like to point out an error. When you were discussing moving to different positions on the servo arm, you stated that the torque changes - more torque closer in and less torque further out on the servo arm. That is incorrect. The torque never changes; it is always the same regardless of where the pushrod is attached to the servo arm. What does change is the force. More force closer in, and less force as one moves outward on the servo arm. You showed this in the video at the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="660">11:00</a> point when you had twice the force on the scale because the attach point on the servo arm was at 1/2 inch. So 48 ounces at 1/2 inch is equivalent to 24 ounces at 1 inch - both are the same torque; only the force changes.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="815">13:35</a> there is an important error: The lower the number is the faster the faster is the servo. It s/60° - this the reciprocal of a speed as the speed is measured in °/s and the 60 is because its measured as the average speed in a 60° move. That was the important stuff, now comes the pedantic stuff: It's µ not u (someone else posted that already). The servos torque is dependent of the supply voltage not of the leverage. If the leverage gets longer the thrust gets lower. It does not change the torque which is the product of force and leverage. Torque can neither be measured in kgcm nor oz-in as kg and oz are mass units. Correct would be Nm, Ncm or to have it compareaple to the lift force of kg on earth near paris kp. oz-in would mean the same servo could not move anything in space but in fact the torque there is about the same. So if someone writes 1kgcm he's talking about kpcm or ~0.1Nm (exact: 0.0980665Nm) To do the measurement on the scale exact you need some shims or an adjustable rod to make sure the servos lever is perpendicular to the rod and parallel to the scales surface. Anyways it's a great explanation and I'm happy know that I know now a 9g Servo is called so because of it's own mass. I was guessing that but didn't know it and is was for some time quite confusing. It would be great to establish size and mount standarts for servos. The model train guys have an associations (NEM, BRMSB and NMRA) to standardize couplers, coupler mounts, gauges, wheel and track profiles... I'd appreciate to go for one international standard association for the RC-stuff. Peter, would you want to do that? Maybe you could get a paid job in such an association. You're smart enough to understand the stuff. You'ld need to learn to be pedantic when defining standards. Maybe someone else could be employed for that. It should be a group of at least 10 people as there is also radio stuff to define which is far more complicated as when I was a kid - I know an engineer who is specilized on that and unemployed as he rejects all military jobs. You're internationally known. So you're the right guy to start such a thing. Everyone whatching RC-plane videos on youtube knows your face.

Especially with airplanes with gyros. The gyro in the receiver does not know which way the servo is running. If you just replaced a servo in your airplane and the new brand run the opposite direction, reversing it in only the transmitter will cause the gyro to push the control surface in the wrong direction when the transmitter pushes it in the correct direction. The result is an out of control plane. I'm talking from experience. :)

"Control board measures a current servo position with a potentiometer and compares it with a desired position. And turns a motor on to make a correction". etc, etc. These things are obvious.

Thank you so much for making this video I actually built a Tricopter and used a little 9 gram servo and it broke immediately and looked to the right midair did not end very well

The item you referred to as the stator is actually the rotor. The stator stays stationary and the rotor rotates.

A linear actuator does not have Torque. It has force. Torque is force at a given radius. In SI, it is measured in N⋅m. Half of the time, these guy's meant force when saying, "torque." Likewise, in other videos, (usually) when they say, "inertia," when really meaning momentum and when they say, "momentum," they mean speed.

I believe in this case that The linear action of the linear servo is driven by a worm/screw gear. The motor driven worm gear is providing a torque force upon the spur gear that happens to be the servo arm.

+David Allen This is true. However, if that's how linear servos give specifications, it's not very useful.

you've got torque all mixed up torque=force times radius so the servo will produce the same torque no matter how your linkage is arranged but the farther away from center you are the less force you are able to get but you also get more travel so it is a tradeoff

So how do you fix the cutoff of the receiver from too many servos? Better receiver BEC or something else?

Can a servo use the electrical signal on a car's brake lights to flip up an airbrake ? BTW, I mean a full size car. I have seen some huge scale planes that require a lot of torque to move the flaps. Thanks for any help.

Well, they're not wrong. The torque generated by the motor shaft is converted to that rod. The more torque you got the harder it's gonna press of push or pull. Sorry for my bad English

Great explanations. Learned a lot about servos. Thanks guys. Now, please give us a lesson in picking servos. The price range is dizzying. Are the high priced ones ten times better than the lesser? I know I don't want to crash my plane for a poor servo.

A more expensive servo will be faster, stronger and more precise when centering. As far as reliability in my experience it dosent seem to matter, just make shure you have a proper torque rated servo for your application.

Those gears are Delrin, polyacetal, nylon is slightly yellow in the raw state. Delrin is even stronger.
