Common Questions About the P8-R Linear Servo
Is the P8-R compatible with RC receivers?
Yes and no. While the P8-R has a standard servo plug similar to that of rotary servos, it operates at 12V, whereas most RC receivers work within the 4.8V-6V range. This means you’ll likely need an additional power source for the P8-R, such as a UBEC, power distribution board, or a separate battery pack depending on your project needs and budget.
Are 3D files available for the P8-R servo?
Yes, you can find the 3D files for the P8-R on the product page under the 'Technical Specs' tab.
How do I choose the right linear servo for my project?
The best place to start is by using our Actuator Selector Tool. This tool helps you filter through our products based on your specifications, ensuring you find the ideal fit. For further assistance, our sales team is available to provide expert advice.
