HH Servo

Just bench testing them. Cycle it back and forth with load, does it work, is it quiet, etc... We have a few hundred to go through, it's not difficulty of the task but time.


Hmmm, a few hundred to 50...must have been lots of duds. Guess I'll have to wait for the new 500 series.
 
Enough duds to make me stop selling them, I would think you could connect the dots that it wasn't the most reliable product :lol:

Talking with my workers today, they were persuaded into selling a lot more than I realized after we removed inventory from the site. Between the team and storefronts mostly, what started at 200 extras got whittled down by about 90, warranty replacements whittled that down another 40. Could have sworn there was another box somewhere, but they assured me that I wasn't the one that processes orders and for me to stop wasting their time with dumb questions. Ha!
 
Do you guys ever end up with dud servos that only the board is bad in them? Would it be possible to sell the servo minus the board for people who want to build servo winches? Might be better than eating the whole cost.
 
The board is actually the better quality component of them, and you would need a sensored controller ($$) to run it as a hacked winch. The motor inside is non salient design and they are very difficult to start up sensorless under load.
 
O-ring case, just like the last version. We have also requested waterproofed internals from the factory, but we will see how well they do. I won't call it waterproof with just a waterproof case like everybody else, I prefer a coated PCB because water always finds a way in. Worst case, they will still be more waterproof than anything else being made. Best case, they will meet my specifications without having to rework them here.
 
whats the price point your looking at for one of the servos im looking for a new servo for next year and want something strong and water proof lol
 
Finally! So far so good, I got what I designed and ordered. Now we rip one apart to see if they followed all instructions. These will retail at $90, and hopefully with factory internal waterproofing being awesome. But since I have yet to have expectations met, I will assume we will be offering a $10 waterproofing to make them legit. Already has a sealed case that is normally enough, but I like to go that extra mile.

360oz/inch at 6v, .14s

41x20x40mm (standard size) and 73 grams average.


The ratio is a little taller than the HV400, so the peak torque is lower while speed is higher. But the gearsets actually survive at these torque levels, so the rename to HV500 is certainly more accurate in regards to what it handles. We are working on a gearset with more reduction, but it will take a lot of testing to find if they can hold up as well.
