From Makers Electronics's description
MG996R Servo Motor Tower Pro Continues Rotation (Full Metal Aluminum with Brass Gear) The MG996R Continuous Rotation Servo Motor by Tower Pro is a robust and high-performance motor designed for applications that require full 360-degree movement rather than limited-angle positioning. Unlike standard servo motors that are restricted to a 0–180° rotation range, this version of the MG996R is modified for continuous rotation, allowing it to function more like a geared DC motor with directional control, while still being controlled via standard servo PWM signals. One of its defining strengths is its high torque output, capable of delivering up to 11 kg·cm at 6V, making it suitable for driving wheels, mobile platforms, conveyor belts, and other mechanisms where power and durability are essential. Internally, it features full metal gears made from aluminum and brass, ensuring excellent mechanical strength, long service life, and resistance to wear and mechanical stress. The motor is widely used in robotics, RC vehicles, automation systems, and DIY robotic projects, especially where rotation beyond 180° is required—such as for wheels or rotating platforms. It is easy to integrate with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi using a 3-wire interface: power, ground, and PWM signal. The direction and speed of rotation are controlled by adjusting the PWM signal: A signal around 1.5 ms stops the motor. Less than 1.5 ms causes rotation in one direction. More than 1.5 ms causes rotation in the opposite direction. The farther from 1.5 ms, the faster the speed. Thanks to its reliable design, high torque, and simple control interface, the MG996R continuous rotation servo is a go-to choice for beginners and professionals building mobile robots, smart cars, or any project requiring smooth, powerful, and reversible motion. Features: Continuous Rotation: Allows 360-degree motion in both directions, perfect for wheels, driving mechanisms, and mobile robots. High Torque Performance: Provides strong force to move heavy components smoothly and reliably. Full Metal Gears: Built with durable aluminum and brass gears for long life and resistance to wear and breakage. Smooth and Stable Operation: Delivers consistent motion with minimal jitter, even under load. Simple Control Interface: Controlled using standard PWM signals, making it easy to use with Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Compact and Easy to Mount: Standard size fits most servo brackets and chassis for quick installation. Reliable and Durable Build: Designed to withstand mechanical stress, making it ideal for long-term use in robotics and automation. Versatile Application: Suitable for smart cars, robotic arms, rotating platforms, conveyor belts, and DIY automation.
