Single Axis Servo Motor Bracket

Wiring Connections

• Servo Motor Wiring:
  • Red Wire: Connect to the positive terminal of the power supply ( 5V).
  • Black Wire: Connect to the ground (GND) terminal.
  • Control Wire (Yellow/Orange): Connect to the control signal pin on your microcontroller or servo driver.
• Bracket Installation:
  • Step 1: Align the servo motor with the bracket’s mounting holes.
  • Step 2: Secure the servo motor using the provided screws and nuts.
  • Step 3: Attach the bracket to your project’s frame or chassis.

Power

• Voltage Requirement: The servo motor  requires 5-7.4V DC, depending on the model.
• Current Consumption: Varies by servo, usually around 100-500mA under load.
• Power Supply: A stable 5-7.4V DC power supply is recommended to ensure consistent operation.

Input and Output

• Input:
  • Electrical Power: Supplied to the servo motor through the bracket.
  • Control Signal: Sent from a microcontroller or servo driver to the motor to control its position.
• Output:
  • Mechanical Motion: The servo motor, mounted on the bracket, produces controlled rotational motion around a single axis.

Physical Characteristics

• Material: The bracket is  made from aluminum alloy or stainless steel, offering a good balance of strength and weight.
• Dimensions: Common dimensions are around 40mm x 50mm x 60mm, designed to fit most standard-sized servo motors.
• Mounting Holes: Pre-drilled holes are included for easy attachment to both the servo motor and the project frame.
• Finish: The bracket usually has an anodized or powder-coated finish to prevent rust and corrosion.
• Weight: Lightweight, adding minimal extra weight to your project while providing strong support for the servo motor.

Technical Specifications

• Material Strength: The material is  resistant to bending or breaking under normal operating conditions.
• Compatibility: Designed to fit most standard servo motors, including popular models like the MG995 and MG996R.
• Corrosion Resistance: The anodized or powder-coated finish ensures the bracket remains rust-free even in humid or corrosive environments.
• Temperature Range: Can operate in a wide range of temperatures without losing structural integrity.

Additional Features

• Customizable: The bracket can be easily modified or drilled if additional holes or adjustments are needed.
• Wide Application: Ideal for use in robotics, automation, camera gimbals, and other projects requiring precise, controlled movement.
• Shock Absorption: The bracket design helps to reduce vibrations, which can improve the accuracy and lifespan of the servo motor.
• Multiple Mounting Options: Depending on your project, the bracket can be mounted in various orientations, offering flexibility in design.
