Default RE: Brake servo

A standard servo is used for a brake valve.
A retract servo has 180° of rotation....brake valves typically need less than 90° rotation.
On a BVM Smooth Stop II for example, we use some of the smaller servos with as little as 35 inch ounces of torque, as high torque is not required.
