This clutch servo is designed for robots, models and other mechanisms where the servo may be pushed, stalled or forced out of position during use. Its clutch function helps protect the servo by allowing it to reset and keep working after the angle is changed by an external force.
Electronic protection is built in as well: if the servo is blocked for 5 seconds, it automatically turns off power to help avoid burn-out. It runs from 4.8–6V DC and provides a stall torque of 6kg.cm at 6V.
The servo can be controlled directly with standard servo libraries in the Arduino IDE using PWM. Within a 500~2500μs pulse range it can reach up to a 300 degree rotation angle, and because there is no internal limit switch it can be rotated smoothly through 360 degrees manually only.
Included in the pack is one 6Kg 300° clutch servo plus a servo plate and accessories set.
Features:
- Clutch function: Automatically resets and continues working when the servo angle is changed by external forces during normal operation.
- Electronic protection: Automatically turns off power after being blocked for 5 seconds to help avoid burn-out.
- Large torque: Stall torque exceeds 6kg.cm when powered at 6V.
- Stable performance: Designed for accurate running angle and easy installation.
- Arduino control: Can be controlled using servo libraries in the Arduino IDE.
- Wide travel: Reaches a maximum 300 degrees rotation angle within the 500-2500μsec pulse range.
- Manual 360 degree rotation: No internal limit switch, allowing smooth 360 degree manual rotation only.

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.
- Limit switch
- A small switch used to detect when a mechanism has reached the end of its travel. If a servo has no internal limit switch, it may be able to turn freely by hand beyond its powered control range, but it still may not be controllable through a full 360 degrees.
- 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.
