Which mount for micro servo?

Hi all :slight_smile:

I am an engineering student. Perfect newbie in this domain, i am working on a robotic project (articulated arm in a planar working space) for the university of Liege.

I am looking for a solid/robust fixation system for mounting a standard-sized micro servo like this one :

or this one :
robotshop.com/media/files/pdf/hs55.pdf
robotshop.com/en/hitec-hs-65hb-mighty-karbonite-feather-micro-servo-motor.html

I don’t want perpendicular fixation like this (click at the image to see) shop.dubro.com/p/micro-servo-mount but vertical system attachment : i want to fix my servo on a aluminium plate.
Like this but for micro servo :

I found a system but is it compatible with my servos ?

thanks for help!

Go for aluminum mount. This is much stronger than old CF mount

Hard to tell - you’ll find that even slight differences between servos make accessories incompatible between models and brands. ServoCity uses Hitec a lot, but since that part is not specifically marketed for Hitec servos, they included the dimensions on the page so you can verify yourself and compare the mounting dimensions of their bracket with that of the servo. That mount will mount the servo at 90 degrees (not vertical). Lynxmotion offers micro servo brackets for Hitec HS-85BB and HS-85MG servos:
