Product Overview
The Parallax Futaba Continuous Rotation Servo offers smooth and responsive 360° rotation in both directions using PWM bidirectional control. Unlike standard positional servos, this continuous rotation servo provides variable speed and directional control, making it ideal for robotics, pan/tilt systems, mobile platforms, and other automation applications that require continuous motion instead of discrete angular positioning.
This servo is compatible with standard PWM control interfaces and delivers reliable performance in a wide range of mechatronic systems.

Why Choose a Continuous Rotation Servo?
Continuous rotation servos are designed for speed and directional control rather than fixed-angle positioning. They are perfect when your system requires:
-
Variable forward and reverse motion
-
Smooth speed control via PWM signals
-
Simple two-wire or three-wire servo interface
-
Flexibility in mobile robots, wheels, or rotating mechanisms
If your project does not need precise angular positioning but rather continuous motion, this type of servo is the most straightforward solution.
Typical Applications
This servo motor is well suited for:
-
Mobile robots and wheeled platforms
-
Pan/tilt camera mounts for continuous scanning
-
Conveyor belts and rotating platforms
-
Animatronics and interactive motion systems
-
Educational robotics and prototyping
Its ability to rotate continuously and respond to PWM commands makes it flexible and easy to use in many motion systems.
How to Select a Continuous Rotation Servo
When choosing a continuous rotation servo, consider:
-
PWM control compatibility with your controller or microcontroller
-
Voltage range and power availability
-
Torque requirements for your mechanical system
-
Mechanical mounting and form factor
This Futaba servo offers a solid balance of performance and ease of integration for mobile and automation applications.
Technical Specifications
This continuous rotation servo uses standard PWM control and is designed for bidirectional motion. It features a durable internal mechanism optimized for continuous use and responds accurately to direction and speed PWM input commands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Continuous rotation servos differ from standard servos because they provide variable speed and direction instead of fixed-position control. These servos receive PWM signals similar to positional servos but interpret them as speed/direction commands.
