## Description

The Waveshare ST3025 is a high-performance metal serial bus servo featuring a brushless motor, steel gearbox, and 360° programmable magnetic encoder. With up to 40 kg·cm of torque at 12V, it is built for demanding robotics applications requiring precise position and speed control. Controllable via UART serial bus, up to 253 servos can be daisy-chained on a single channel. The servo provides real-time feedback on position, load, speed, input voltage, current, and temperature — ideal for closed-loop control systems. Three operating modes (angle servo, speed closed-loop motor, and step mode) make it versatile for a wide range of projects. Key Features 40 kg·cm Torque – High torque output at 12V, suitable for heavy-duty robotic joints Brushless Motor – Longer lifespan and quieter operation compared to brushed alternatives 360° Magnetic Encoder – 12-bit precision (0.088° resolution, 4096 steps) with no mechanical wear UART Serial Bus – Daisy-chain up to 253 servos on one channel, 38400 bps to 1 Mbps baud rate Three Operating Modes – Angle servo (0–360°), speed closed-loop motor (continuous rotation), and step mode (relative positioning) Two-Way Feedback – Real-time reporting of position, load, speed, voltage, current, and temperature Acceleration Control – Configurable speed and acceleration for smooth start/stop motion Multi-Loop Position Control – Up to 7 full rotations of position tracking in both directions (default precision) One-Button Middle Calibration – Set any position as the centre point for easy installation Wide Voltage Input – 6.0–12.6V DC, directly compatible with 3S LiPo batteries All-Aluminium Alloy Case – Excellent heat dissipation and mechanical rigidity High-Strength Steel Gears – Low noise, high durability under load T6061 Aluminium Servo Horns – Corrosion-resistant, included with the servo Flat-Shaft Flange Compatible – Mount wheels, timing pulleys, gears, and 6 mm shaft couplings (sold separately) Specifications Model: ST3025 Input Voltage: 6.0–12.6V DC (typical 12V) Stall Torque: 40 kg·cm at 12V Torque Constant: 9 kg·cm/A No-Load Speed: 0.117 sec/60° (85 RPM) at 12V Position Resolution: 0.088° (4096 steps over 360°) Static Current: 6 mA No-Load Current: 380 mA Rated Current: 1.5A Stall Current: 4.4A Baud Rate: 38400 bps – 1 Mbps (default 1 Mbps) ID Range: 0–253 Gear Type: High-precision steel Dimensions: 40 × 20 × 40 mm Ideal For Quadruped and hexapod walking robots Robotic arms and grippers Pan-tilt camera mounts Industrial automation requiring closed-loop control Any project needing high-torque, precise servo positioning Package Contents 1× ST3025 Serial Bus Servo Tip: For easy control of multiple ST3025 servos, pair with the Serial Bus Servo Driver Board which integrates power supply and control circuitry with ESP32 Wi-Fi control. Note that high-torque servos draw significant current — ensure your power supply can handle the total load when running multiple servos simultaneously.
