FS90-FB Compact Analog Servo With 1.5 kgcm Torque, 180deg Travel and Direct Position Feedback
The FS90-FB is a compact analog micro servo designed for robotics, RC systems, educational projects, embedded motion control, and applications that require both standard servo positioning and direct position feedback. At 6V, it delivers up to 1.5 kg.cm stall torque with
a no-load speed of 0.065 sec/60deg. Its 180deg operating range is controlled using a standard PWM signal from 500-2500us, making it compatible with common microcontrollers and RC servo controllers.
Unlike a conventional 3-wire servo, the FS90-FB provides an additional feedback connection linked to the internal position potentiometer. This allows a host controller to monitor the approximate output position independently of the PWM command, enabling applications such as motion verification, obstruction detection, telemetry, and higher-level closed-loop control. The servo combines a lightweight PC case, plastic gear train, core motor, 21T output spline, and compact 10.7 g construction for space-constrained systems.
