MG995 Servo Motor 12kg by Kuongshun — a high-torque 180° standard servo controlled via PWM signal. Operating voltage 4.8V–6.6V, torque up to 11kg/cm at 6V. Includes mounting accessories for easy integration with Arduino, ESP32 and robotics projects.

 

The Kuongshun MG995 is a high-torque standard servo motor delivering up to 11kg/cm torque at 6V, making it one of the most popular choices for robotics arms, RC vehicles, pan-tilt camera mounts and any application where a small hobby servo simply doesn't have enough power. Like all servo motors, the MG995 is controlled via a standard PWM signal, making it plug-and-play compatible with Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi.

Key Features

  • High Torque (up to 11kg/cm at 6V): Capable of driving heavier loads and mechanisms that a micro or standard low-cost servo cannot handle → ideal for robotic arms and steering systems
  • 180° Rotation Range: Precise angular positioning across a full 180° arc → accurate control for grippers, rudders and camera gimbals
  • Fast Response (0.16s/60° at 6V): Quick actuation speed ensures smooth movement in dynamic applications → responsive RC and robotics control
  • Wide Operating Voltage (4.8V–6.6V): Works across a range of common power supplies → flexible power options from USB banks to LiPo cells
  • PWM Control Interface: Standard 50Hz PWM signal compatible with virtually every microcontroller → no special libraries or drivers required
  • Includes Mounting Accessories: Comes with servo horns and hardware → ready to mount without extra parts

Pinout & Wiring

Wire ColorSymbolDescription
BrownGNDGround — connect to GND of power supply and microcontroller
RedVCCPower supply 4.8V–6.6V — do NOT power from Arduino 5V pin directly for loads; use an external supply
OrangePWMControl signal — connect to a PWM-capable digital output of your microcontroller

Wiring note: At full load the MG995 can draw over 1A. Always power it from a dedicated external supply (e.g. a 5V/2A BEC or LiPo pack) and share only the GND with the microcontroller. Connect the orange signal wire to any PWM pin on your Arduino or ESP32.

Compatibility

  • Arduino UNO / Nano / Mega: 5V PWM signal compatible; use the built-in Servo.h library. Power VCC from an external 5V–6V supply, not the Arduino's onboard regulator.
  • ESP32 / ESP8266: 3.3V PWM signal is sufficient to drive the signal line; power VCC externally at 5V–6V. Use the ESP32 ledc PWM or the ESP32Servo library.
  • Raspberry Pi: 3.3V GPIO PWM signal compatible; use an external 5V power rail for VCC.

Typical Applications

  • Robotic arms & grippers: The 12kg torque rating makes the MG995 a go-to servo for DIY robotic arm joints that need to lift small payloads.
  • RC vehicles & boats: Controls steering mechanisms and throttle linkages in radio-controlled cars, trucks and boats.
  • Pan-tilt camera mounts: Smooth, precise 180° movement for FPV camera gimbals and security camera pan systems.
  • Automated door locks & latches: Drives locking mechanisms in home-automation and access-control projects.
  • Educational robotics & maker projects: A standard choice in Arduino and Raspberry Pi robotics kits thanks to straightforward PWM control.

FAQ

Q: Can I power the MG995 directly from my Arduino's 5V pin?
A: Not recommended under load. The MG995 can draw over 1A at stall, which will overload the Arduino's onboard regulator (rated ~500mA). Always use a separate 5V power supply and connect the grounds together.

Q: What PWM pulse width does the MG995 use?
A: The MG995 uses a standard 50Hz PWM signal with pulse widths typically from 1ms (0°) to 2ms (180°), which is the default range of the Arduino Servo.h library.

Package Contents: 1× MG995 Servo Motor, servo horns (various shapes), mounting screws and hardware.

⚠ Note: Power the servo VCC rail from a dedicated external supply capable of at least 1.5A. Driving it from a microcontroller's onboard regulator may cause resets or permanent damage to the board.
