Overview
The Kpower HBL838 is a brushless digital servo for RC models, UAV mechanisms and robotic motion control. Its aluminum-alloy case and metal gears provide a compact actuator measuring 40 × 20 × 38 mm and weighing 66 g. It operates at 4.8–8.4 V, with PWM, TTL and RS-485 listed as control protocols. Voltage-specific torque and speed values help match the servo to the intended supply and mechanical load.
Features
- Brushless motor with digital servo control.
- Metal gearing; the HBL series specifies high-precision metal gears.
- Aluminum-alloy case and two ball bearings (2BB).
- Potentiometer position sensor.
- 25T output horn spline with a 5.9 mm diameter.
- 120° travel angle, described as customizable.
- PWM, TTL and RS-485 control protocols are listed for HBL838.
