Dynamixel XD540-T150-R servo motor

Rediscover the joys of a strong, programmable servo motor

Robotis has chosen to rekindle its relationship with experienced roboticists by offering a new line of high-performance servo motors, very similar to some of the models in the XH series. The result? A very sturdy torque, extreme reliability and precision, and above all the promise of always enjoying full control of your robot’s movements.

The Dynamixel XD540-T150-R servo offers a stall torque of 7.10 N.m at a no-load speed of 70 rpm. Power consumption is just as low as that of other high-performance series. Above all, you enjoy full control of the entire process, with six operating modes and a wide variety of feedback information.

Dynamixel XD540-T150-R servo motor: XD for “Extreme Durability”

Each series of Robotis servo motors offers its own special features: the XW servo motors are waterproof, the XL servo motors meet small budgets, while the XH servo motors are the most powerful.

So what does “XD” mean? Extreme durability! With its XD540-T150-R servo motor, and like the other models in the series, Robotis has created a servo offering an optimised service life. For example, the XD540-T150-R model, which performs much like the XH540-W150 in terms of torque and speed, offers a life expectancy three times greater (+220%).
