The DFRobot 2Kg 180° Clutch Servo features built-in clutch protection and electronic overload protection, making it ideal for robotics and model applications where servos may encounter external forces or stalling.
When external forces change the servo's angle during operation, the clutch function allows it to automatically reset and continue working — preventing gear damage. If the servo is blocked for more than 5 seconds, electronic protection cuts power to prevent burnout. Compatible with Arduino servo libraries, it operates within a 500–2500 μs pulse range for up to 180° rotation.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Clutch servo
- A servo with a built-in clutch that can slip or reset if the output arm is forced by hand or by a mechanism. This matters in robots and models because it can reduce damage when the servo is pushed past its commanded position.
- IDE
- Short for Integrated Development Environment, a program used to write, run and manage code. It matters because some learners prefer a traditional coding workspace instead of a guided notebook-style lesson.
- Pulse width range
- The span of control pulse lengths a servo understands, usually measured in microseconds. Matching this range in your code affects how far the servo moves and helps avoid commanding positions outside its intended travel.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
- servo
- A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
- Stall torque
- The maximum twisting force a servo can produce when its output is held still and cannot move. It helps you judge whether the servo is strong enough for a robot joint, steering linkage, or other load.
- Torque
- A twisting force that causes something to rotate, usually measured in newton-metres or kilogram-centimetres. It matters when choosing motors, servos, gears, and tools because higher torque is needed to lift heavier loads, turn larger wheels, or move mechanisms without stalling.
