Hitec HS485HB Karbonite Gear Analogue Servo 2213270

The Hitec HS485HB Karbonite Gear Analogue Servo - 6.4kg - 0.17s, part number 2213270, is a high-performance analogue servo for suitable radio-controlled aircraft and helicopter applications. It updates the HS-475HB design with increased torque and improved speed, while its high-impact Karbonite gears, top ball bearing and performance circuitry support accurate centring and resolution. At 6.0V, the servo provides 6.4kg-cm of torque and completes a 60-degree movement in 0.17 seconds; at 4.8V, the figures are 5.2kg-cm and 0.20 seconds.

Suggested compatibility includes helicopters and aircraft up to 72 inches, or models up to 12 lb when using one servo per control surface. Suitability depends on the individual model, control surface and operating conditions. High-vibration petrol engines combined with large control surfaces and large throws can place excessive strain on Karbonite gears, particularly on 3D models, where a metal-geared servo is recommended. Do not use thread-locking compound on a Karbonite-geared servo, as this can cause output-shaft failure.
