FEETECH High-Torque Digital Servo FT5313M

The FT5313M is a standard-size digital servo from FEETECH that is capable of delivering extra-high torque normally associated with more expensive or larger servos thanks to its powerful coreless motor and an all-metal gear train. The output shaft is supported by two ball bearings for reduced friction. Servo horns and associated hardware are included. This servo can work with both 5 V and 3.3 V servo signals.

Key specs at 6 V: 0.10 sec/60°, 190 oz-in (13.8 kg-cm), 60 g.

Overview

The FT5313M is a standard-size digital servo from FEETECH that can deliver over twice the torque of our standard-size servos with plastic gears thanks to its powerful coreless motor and all-metal gear train (if you need even more torque than this, check out the FT5121M , which has identical dimensions to the FT5313M). The output shaft is supported by two ball bearings for reduced friction.

The FT5313M works with standard RC servo pulses, providing a running angle of approximately 120° over a servo pulse range of 900 µs to 2100 µs. Many hobby servos can be operated beyond their standard ranges by using a wider pulse range, but please note that in our tests, we were not able to expand the range of the FT5313M significantly beyond 120° (the servo did not respond to pulses below 800 µs or above around 2100 µs, providing an approximate expanded range of 135°).

This servo has a 10″ (25 cm) cable that is terminated with a standard JR-style connector , which is Futaba-compatible. You can find more information about this servo in its datasheet (123k pdf).

Note that, as with most hobby servos, stalling or back-driving this servo can damage it. This servo can draw bursts of current in excess of 4 A at 6 V, so please make sure you have an appropriate power supply. For comparison, a typical standard-size servo might draw around an amp when straining.
