The Futaba S3003 Standard Servo Motor is a widely used and reliable servo motor designed for general-purpose use in a variety of hobbyist and professional applications. Known for its precision, durability, and affordability, the S3003 is commonly used in RC vehicles, robotics, automation systems, and DIY electronics.
This servo features plastic gears with precise control over its movement within a 0° to 180° range. It is capable of producing moderate torque (about 3.2 kg·cm at 4.8V and 4.1 kg·cm at 6.0V), which makes it suitable for light to medium-duty mechanical tasks. Its lightweight and compact design allows for easy integration into various projects, whether it’s controlling a steering mechanism in an RC car or actuating a joint in a robotic arm.
The S3003 uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals to control the rotation angle. A pulse of around 1 ms moves the servo to 0°, 1.5 ms centers it at 90°, and 2 ms moves it to 180°. The servo maintains its position when the control signal is steady, and it reacts instantly when the signal changes.
It operates on a voltage range of 4.8V to 6.0V, compatible with most microcontrollers including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32. The S3003 includes a 3-wire cable for signal, power, and ground, making it easy to connect and control.
Whether you’re building a basic robot, adding motion to a model, or creating a simple automated system, the Futaba S3003 offers a cost-effective and dependable solution. Its balance of performance and price has made it a favorite among electronics enthusiasts, educators, and roboticists around the world.
