Parallax Continuous Rotation Servo (#900-00008) 

v2.2  10/24/2011  Page 1 of 8 

Parallax Continuous Rotation Servo (#900-00008) 

The Parallax Standard Servo is ideal for adding bidirectional continuous rotation to your robotics projects.   

Features 

 

Bidirectional continuous rotation 

 

0 to 50 RPM, with a linear response to PWM for easy 

ramping 

 

Accepts four mounting screws 

 

Easy to interface with any Parallax microcontroller or 

PWM-capable device 

 

Very easy to control with the PULSOUT command in 

PBASIC or SX/B 

 

Weighs only 1.50 oz (42.5 g) 

 

38 oz-in torque @ 6 V 

Key Specifications 

 

Power requirements: 4 to 6 VDC; Maximum current draw 

140 +/- 50 mA at 6 VDC when operating in no load conditions, 15 mA when in static state 

 

Communication: pulse-width modulation 

 

Dimensions: approx 2.2 x 0.8 x 1.6 in (5.58x 1.9 x 4.06 cm) excluding servo horn 

 

Operating temperature range: 14 to 122 °F (-10 to +50 °C) 

 

Quick-Start Circuit
