The P8-R series is the servo variant of our popular P8 actuator line. To use the P8-R, you must simply plug in the included Ext-R board, and you're ready to go. Please be aware that the power supply must match the rated input of the device, which is 12V. If you're using the servo in an RC application, you may need to use a separate power supply to meet the 12V requirement. The P8-R micro linear servo is ideal for projects where higher force or speed is required, and RC or Arduino control is preferred. Applications where minor actuator customization or remote position monitoring is necessary are also a good fit. Using our Ext-R board saves you designing a custom controller or a custom actuator.
Our P8-R series linear servos come in a variety of configurations including:
The P8-R is the next generation of tiny linear servo from Actuonix. Using these devices with RC or Arduino is a breeze with our included standard 3-wire servo cable. Please be aware that a separate power source may be required as the input voltage must match the rated voltage of the servo.
Actuonix P8-R mini linear actuators are designed to excel in applications across many industries including:

We've compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you better understand P16-R and how they can benefit your projects.
Most RC receivers operate between 5-9V. As all P8-R models require a 12V input, we recommend using a dedicated 12V power source.
Arduino boards are not designed to power such a large device. As with RC applications, we recommend using a dedicated 12V power source..
You will receive a P8-P linear actuator with a mounting hardware kit, as well as an External-R board. This combination together functions as an R-Series linear servo. The External-R board is required for the P8 to function as a servo.
The servo will likely move at 6V, but will not meet datasheet performance numbers. This may also affect product warranty.
