A question from a newbie
Hi all! 
I want to use a Hitec Mini HS-85 MG+ servo in a project not related with RC planes, but for industrial purposes. And I need to use an AC transformer in other to get it to work. Would you please help me with the right DC voltage and amperage needed? Thanks a lot indeed.

RE: A question from a newbie
The servo runs on 4.5 - 6.0 Volts and needs approximately .75Amp to run. If stalled, I believe one servo can draw almost 3A before it burns out the windings.

Bad Daddy tells you true. However, you also need a signal in the white wire for the servo to turn. How do you plan to do that, may I ask?

Refer to "Servo - alterations, calculators, repairs, make an ESC or winch & FAQ" on my web page for more information and simple DIY servo drivers.

RE: A question from a newbie
Thank you very much, bad daddy
Dr1Driver, I already have small circuitry [very small room] to move the arm from one side to another with two small potentiometers for both right and left side stop points. And for the timing, a Crouzet programmer. Many thanks too
A.T., very useful link. Thanks a lot.
