servo specification
Hi Michael,
A few weeks ago I stumbled across a Servo Database on the web and posted it-
https://model-boats.com/forum/61551
Maybe that will help answer your question and help you find a suitable servo.
About 120° end to end seems to be a sort of unofficial standard, with exceptions of course.
Most TXs these days also seem to have a function for stretching the servo travel to 150%!
At both ends, so that would give you 180° end to end with a 'standard' servo.
Don't know what you are using but check the manual.
Graham93 also recently posted a neat (and logical!) trick to extend the servo travel by adding two resistors to the feedback pot on the servo control board. Also for Monitor control I think.
Hope this helps.👍
Cheers, Doug 😎
BTW: "No load operation speed: 0.12 sec / 60 deg (4.8 V); 0.13 sec / 60 deg (6.0 V)"
Something wrong there🤔 Should be faster at 6V!? 0.13Sec is slow anyway, but more than fast enough for a Monitor I guess😉

Young at heart 😉 Slightly older in other places.😊 Cheers Doug
servo specification
Is there a standard degree of rotation for servos and is there any specification charts?
THIS IS HOW THEY ARE LISTED -
No load operation speed: 0.12 sec / 60 deg (4.8 V); 0.13 sec / 60 deg (6.0 V)
Do I assume it rotates 180 degrees?
I am currently working out the mechanism for my fire monitor rotation and am using an old servo for testing the system, It has a rotation of 95 degrees, but some of the new ones Ive looked at to use only seem to have 60 degrees
