  • Description
  • Documentation

  • These linear servos operate as a direct replacement for standard analog rotary servos. They use the standard 3-wire connector - ground, power, and control. Regardless of how you drive your servos, be it with an RC receiver or an Arduino board, the L16-R servos will function in place of a regular servo, but with the added benefit of providing linear motion. These hobby-grade units are constructed using an anodized aluminum shaft, metal gearbox, steel screw, and steel ball bearings.

    Note: The command range of the linear servo is different than most servos. Please review the user guide for more details.

Failed soon after 1 month warranty finished. At $US70 we expected a lot longer life. Not in our budget to replace.

FRC Competition Irregularities

FRC Team 5534 installed one of these on their 2022 robot and experienced some strange behavior. During the autonomous period of the match, the actuator was supposed to retract completely and stay there. Coding was done in Java and when tested at the build space, on a wireless connection, it worked as expected. When tested at a competition, while tethered on a practice field, it worked as expected. However, when on the competition field, during qualification matches, while attached to the field network, during the autonomous period of the match, the actuator did not retract as expected. During the teleop period of matches, the actuator was operational using buttons on the XBox controller.

Linear Servo

Works great. We need to limit movement to 0.2 and 0.8 in the Blockly programming for it to function.

Works, but is fragile

Worked well with our robot, however DO NOT backdrive them or the plastic gearing inside will destroy itself over time
