The Hitec Servo Series

Understanding Hitec's naming convention and product line-up options.

  • HS-Series

    Analogue

    Value-priced analogue servo motors, fitted with a brushed motor and a potentiometer for position sensing.

    See HS-Series

  • 1000-Series

    Digital Ultra Power

    Ultra giant servos with full metal cases with an industrial heritage for heavy duty applications. With an incredible 110kg of torque, voltage up to 14.8V, they are available in cored and brushless options.

    See 1000-Series

  • 5000-Series

    1st Generation Digital Cored*

    Fully programmable cored* digital motors with G1 chipset.

    * mostly cored

    See 5000-Series

  • 7000-Series

    2nd Generation Digital Coreless*

    Fully programmable coreless* digital motors with G2 chipset, doubling the G1 resolution and adding a programmable overload setting.

    * mostly coreless

    See 7000-Series

  • HSB-Series

    Ultra-Efficient Brushless

    Premium servos powered by ultra efficient Neu-Castle brushless DC (BLDC) motors with optimised "Power Miser" digital circuitry which reduces power demands by up to 90%.

    See HSB-Series

  • HSR-Series

    Robot Servos

    Multi-Turn* and in some cases Continuous-Rotation function. Available in analogue and digital.

    * several rotations possible

    See HSR-Series

  • D-Series

    Digital

    Wide voltage (4.8V - 7.4V) coreless or brushed motors with 32-bit MCU and 12-bit ADC for superior programmable response. Fitted with a high-quality potentiometer for position sensing.

    See D-Series

  • DB-Series

    Brushless

    Mid-priced digital servo motors with powerful brushless DC (BLDC) motors. IP-67 waterproof. Fitted with a high-quality potentiometer for position sensing.

    See DB-Series
