Futaba has been a leading manufacturer of high performance servos since 1962. With them, you can expect accurate, reliable, and overall robust products made of high-quality materials.
High PoweredServos
Our high powered series of servos are known as the AJ9DA series. These servos boast high torque and durability with wide ranges of voltage selection. This line of servos have an extensive list of applications and uses, such as large scaled fixed wing type UAVs or carrier robots.
Digital Brushless Servos
Our brushless motor series of servos are easily identifiable with product names beginning with "BLA". These servos provide great performance, durability, and reliability under the toughest conditions. With varying voltage, sizes, and torques available, there is a brushless Futaba servo for every project.
Other Standard Servos
Sometimes the best thing you can do is go back to basics. This category of Futaba servos are equipped for special project needs including lower voltage requirements, smaller size, and in some cases, analog functionality.
High Durability Servos
High durability servos designed for the most demanding applications.
Roboservo®
Roboservo® is an all-in-one motor module that integrates a motor and the peripherals necessary to control it, such as reduction gears, motors, brakes, encoders, motor drivers, and sensors, into a single package. It significantly reduces man-hours required for parts selection, design, development, and assembly.
The development of "Roboservo®" was supervised by Chiba Institute of Technology's Future Robotics Research Center (fuRo).
Features
Easy Connection
Roboservo can be operated simply by connecting a power supply, controller, and communication lines.
Wide Variety of Sensors
Encoders are mounted on each motor and output axis to ensure high controllability.
Current, voltage, temperature, and IMU (3-axis acceleration + 3-axis angular velocity) sensors contribute to control not only the module itself but also the entire system.
Safety Features
To prevent damage due to overload, temperature, overvoltage, and overcurrent limit functions and a collision detection function are implemented using built-in sensors. A built-in de-energized brake enables the angular position to be maintained even when the power is de-energized.
Highly Flexible Wiring Layout
Modules can be daisy-chained to each other to reduce wiring. Furthermore, the hollow structure of the output shaft allows wiring to pass through to mitigate wiring torsion, allowing greater flexibility in the layout of modules and wiring.
Open Network Support
The following certifications have been obtained.
- CiA DS-301
- CiA DSP-402

Linear Actuator
Our high powered linear actuator is designed to be ideal for any item needing true linear motion. The unit boasts its all-in-one design that includes the drive train mechanics, electric motor, and advanced control board. Capable of S.Bus2 and produced to be IP64-level dust and water resistant, see what the LJ9DA41 can bring to your project.

AJ9DA/LJ9DA series are compatible with the following signal types:
– PWM: Conventional signal for servo of radio control use (ex. Pulse width of 1,520μS = center).
– S.Bus/S.Bus2: Futaba’s original serial signal format.
– RS485: Same as Futaba’s bi-directional protocol for “Command type servo for robot.”
– Do not use each protocol at the same time or the unit will get fatal damage.
– Analog DC output for monitoring the rod shaft position. The position can be monitored while powering up.
