- Second-level gears: Steel-plastic composite for reduced noise.
- Third-level gears: Powder metallurgy for good self-lubricity.
- Fourth and fifth-level gears: Surface carburized and quenched steel rolling gears for superior durability and impact resistance.
- Optimized Motor: Features high-temperature resistant enameled wire, imported brushes, and commutator for improved overload resistance, efficiency, and faster reaction times.
2. Safety Information
⚠ Disclaimer: For recreation use only. Illegal modification of drones/planes is prohibited. Please also pay attention to the relevant laws and regulations on the use of drones/planes in your country/area to ensure legal use.
- Always ensure correct voltage input to prevent damage to the servo and connected components.
- Avoid exceeding the maximum torque ratings to prevent mechanical failure.
- Ensure proper mounting to prevent vibration and stress on the servo.
- Keep the servo away from water and excessive dust unless specifically rated for such environments.
3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unboxing
Carefully remove the servo and accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
3.2 Mounting
Mount the servo securely using the provided screws and rubber grommets (if applicable) to minimize vibration. Ensure the servo horn has a clear range of motion without obstruction.
3.3 Wiring Connection
Connect the servo to your control system according to the wiring diagram. Pay close attention to the polarity and voltage requirements for your specific servo model.
- Steering Gear Plug (3-pin):
- White (24AWG): PWM signal
- Red (24AWG): +5V output
- Black (24AWG): Negative
- Power Input (2-wire):
- Red (18AWG): 24V input (positive)
- Black (18AWG): 24V input (negative)
Note: The power input for the servo is separate from the steering gear plug's +5V output. Ensure the main power supply matches the servo's voltage requirements (24V for Super200 Plus, 12V-24V for Super400 Plus).
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Control Signal
The servo operates using a standard PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal. The input signal range is 800us to 2200us, with a frequency range of 50Hz to 400Hz.
4.2 Angle Adjustment
The operating angle range is adjustable. For the Super200 Plus, the minimum angle is approximately 60° and the maximum is approximately 300°. For the Super400 Plus, the minimum is approximately +/-30° and the maximum is approximately +/-150°.
4.3 Power Supply
It is recommended to use a battery power supply for optimal performance and stability. Ensure the power supply can deliver the necessary current, especially during high-load or locked-rotor conditions.
5. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the servo for any loose connections, damaged wires, or signs of wear on the gears.
- Cleaning: Keep the servo clean from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication: The internal gears are designed for durability and self-lubricity. Excessive external lubrication is generally not required and may attract dirt.
- Heat Management: Ensure adequate airflow around the servo, especially during continuous high-load operation, to utilize the integrated heat sinks effectively.
6. Troubleshooting
- Servo Not Responding: Check power connections (voltage and polarity), PWM signal connection, and ensure the control signal is within the specified range.
- Erratic Movement: Verify the stability of the power supply, check for signal interference, and ensure the servo is not mechanically bound.
- Overheating: Reduce load, improve ventilation, or check for continuous locked-rotor conditions. Ensure the input voltage is correct.
- Excessive Noise: While the second-level gears are designed for lower noise, unusual or excessive noise may indicate mechanical stress or damage. Inspect the gear train.

8. User Tips
- Power Supply Considerations: For applications requiring maximum torque, ensure your power supply can handle the peak current draw, especially the locked-rotor current. Using a dedicated battery is often more stable than drawing power from a shared circuit.
- PWM Signal Compatibility: While the servo supports a wide PWM frequency range (50-400Hz), ensure your controller's output is stable and within the specified pulse width (800us-2200us) for accurate positioning.
- Mechanical Linkage: Design your mechanical linkages to avoid binding or excessive side loads on the servo shaft, which can lead to premature wear or failure.
