Hello,
I have seen ,but I can’t remember were, reports that the HSC-5955TG servos have a high falure rate when pushed a little bit. Can anyone who has use this in there robot projects give any imput?
Thanks.
I think it was some thread awhile back regarding the HSR-5995TG, but they share similar innards I believe.
I think what happened was operating these beyond its limit, and the FETs inside kept blowing out. I’m not sure what the application was, but it might’ve been for a biped…
I think the thread might’ve even mentioned that they weren’t pushing these too far, but I’m not too sure, it’s just what I can recall from memory… The HSR-5995 was originally designed for Robo-One style competition I believe, and they were never designed to be pushed for a long time, usually for as long as a match or some obstacle course…
I think the HSR-5990TGs addressed this issue, with an overload protection. I’m not too sure about the failure rate of the 5955TG however…
Can anyone elaborate on this? What is the difference between a HSR-5995 and HS-5955 aside from the obvious extruded servo case on the latter?
Also, is the HS-5955 as prone or more prone to failure then the HSR5990?
Hey,
Well the 5990 is a great servo. I am putting them in my main Humanoid.
But I keep working on other robot designs before I have one finished and seeing that I have about three different robot controllers (Kondo, Lynxmotion, and the mr-c3024) in a draw in my shop I will keep working other bots. I am always coming across good deals on servos and I want to play around with the 5955’s because I can get another Humanoid built for cheap. So back to the question of failure. I just think I heard that they would burn up when running for even just a short amount of time. The 5990 servo has a fail safe these do not. I just want to know what that time is before they go POOF!
Thanks
