Dynamixel XC430-W150-T Servo Motor

Robotis XC430-W150-T servo: reliable control

The Dynamixel XC430-W150-T Servo Motor from Robotis includes an electric DC motor, a reduction gearhead, a microcontroller, a driver and a contactless absolute magnetic encoder. It’s an intelligent servo with its own network, offering numerous different control modes for adapting your robotics project according to your needs. You can use these various control modes to manage the speed, power and PWM of your servo.

Its particularly high resolution and energy-efficient operation make it one of the best servos in the XC serie. There are 3 different cable positions at the rear, and it has a hollow back case for a reduced friction effect. Made of precious metal and engineering plastic, it’s a hard-wearing servo that delivers excellent heat dissipation.

Specific features of the XC430-W150-T model

This waterproof servo is particularly efficient for creating ultra-fast mobile robots. It has a more powerful torque than the XL430, which means it can be used in slightly more powerful projects.

Each servo comes with a compatible idler (assembled), an 18 cm X3P robot cable and all the spacers and bolts you need to assemble your servo. Not sure which Dynamixel servo you should buy? We’ve included a selection guide in our resources to help you find the appropriate servo based on your desired torque or speed.
