Hitec MD89MW-UAVCAN / DroneCAN Servo
Unmatched Accuracy and Seamless Communication - Hitec MD89MW-UAVCAN / DroneCAN Servo
The Hitec MD89MW-UAVCAN / DroneCAN servomechanism is a highly advanced solution for demanding designers of unmanned systems. The device bases its communication on the advanced DroneCAN protocol (UAVCAN v0), which guarantees lightning-fast and error-free data exchange with the main flight controller. A durable engineering plastic housing effectively protects internal components. Inside, there is an efficient coreless motor and a dual ball bearing system, which directly translates into smooth and stable servo operation, even under heavy loads.
Key Features of the Hitec MD89MW-UAVCAN / DroneCAN Servo
- Advanced communication: Compatibility and full support for the reliable DroneCAN protocol (UAVCAN v0).
- High precision: A built-in contactless magnetic encoder ensures accurate and failure-free position reading.
- Efficient drive: A digital, 32-bit, and fully programmable amplifier integrated with a high-speed coreless motor.
- Durable mechanics: The use of 5 precision metal gears and dual ball bearings.
- Power supply flexibility: Ability to operate safely over a wide voltage range from 4.0V to 8.4V.
- Programmable operating range: The default travel angle is 60°, with the possibility of expanding and programming up to ±150°.
