What is the degree of the ES08 servo? Comprehensive analysis of steering gear angle and control parameters
Recently, discussions on the technical parameters of servos have become more popular across the Internet, and the ES08 servos in particular have become the focus due to their high cost performance and wide applicability. This article will combine hot topics in the past 10 days to analyze in detail the angle range, performance characteristics and typical application scenarios of the ES08 steering gear, and provide structured data comparison.
1. Basic parameters of ES08 steering gear

| Parameter name | value/description |
|---|---|
| Working voltage | 4.8V-6.0V |
| rotation angle | 0°-180°(270° version can be customized) |
| Torque | 1.5kg·cm at 4.8V, 1.8kg·cm at 6.0V |
| Response speed | 0.16 seconds/60° (4.8V) |
2. Angle control principle and calibration method
The ES08 servo is controlled by PWM signal. The corresponding pulse width of the standard angle range is as shown in the following table:
| Angular position | Pulse width (ms) |
|---|---|
| 0° | 0.5 |
| 90° | 1.5 |
| 180° | 2.5 |
Things to note during actual use:Rotation exceeding 180° may damage the gear set, if you need a larger angle range, it is recommended to choose a 270° customized version or a continuously rotating servo.
3. Recent popular application scenarios
According to the analysis of social media data in the past 10 days, ES08 steering gear is mainly used in the following fields:
| Application areas | Proportion | Typical cases |
|---|---|---|
| robot joints | 42% | Hexapod robot leg control |
| smart home | 28% | Automatic curtain opening and closing system |
| Model aircraft control | 18% | Fixed wing aircraft aileron adjustment |
| Teaching experiment | 12% | Arduino Robotic Arm Teaching Kit |
4. Comparison of parameters of similar servos (popular models in 2024)
| Model | Angle range | Torque (6V) | price range |
|---|---|---|---|
| ES08 | 180° | 1.8kg·cm | ¥15-25 |
| MG90S | 180° | 2.2kg·cm | ¥30-40 |
| DS3218 | 270° | 3.0kg·cm | ¥50-60 |
5. User FAQs
According to recent hot search word statistics, high-frequency questions about the ES08 steering gear include:
1.Q: Can I break through the 180° limit by modifying the PWM signal?
A: Not recommended, as it may cause gear slippage or motor overheating. It is recommended to choose a dedicated 270° servo.
2.Q: How to solve the problem of jitter in angle control?
A: Check the power supply stability (parallel capacitor is recommended) and ensure that the PWM signal frequency is 50Hz.
3.Q: What is the difference between it and SG90 servo?
A: The ES08 has greater torque (SG90 is only 1.2kg·cm), but the volume is slightly larger (ES08 size 23x12x29mm).
Summary:As an entry-level 180° servo, the ES08 servo has a balanced performance in terms of cost performance and basic performance. It is especially suitable for educational projects and light robot applications. If you need a larger angle or torque, you can refer to the comparison table in the article to choose an upgraded model.
