Connector Types (Common)Futaba “J”• Keyed with a tab on signal end• Can work with JR/HiTEC if tab trimmed• Can work with JR/HiTEC if tab trimmed
Tab
JR / HiTEC “S”JR / HiTEC “S”• Known as ‘Universal’• Compatible with Futaba ‘J’
Airtronic “Z”Airtronic “Z”• Compatible with JR / HiTEC’
Airtronic “T” (Obsolete)• Reversed Polarity• Not compatible with any other types 7
Analog vs Digital•Looks for pulse within 0.02 sec (20 ms or 50 pulses/s)•Compares duration to prior pulse
Analog
Compares duration to prior pulse•If change in pulse duration > Deadband
position change•Lookup new angle and compare to currentR d l
Digital Brushless
•Rotate towards new angle •Stop when change in pulse duration ≤ Deadband
Digital•Same as Analog input signal•However ..
Internal Microprocessor
Digital
Internal MicroprocessorConverts signal to drive motor at ≈ 300‐400HzDuty Cycle (% on) remains the same

Servo Motor TypesBrushed Brushless
N-Poles(Iron Core) Brushed Coreless Brushless Coreless(Iron Core)
• Low Inertia, Fast Spin-up• Winding Geometry limit cogging
• Low Cost• Life is Brush Limited
• Thermal Mass and dissipation• High Efficiency• Winding Geometry limit cogging
• Efficient but Thermal Limits• Med Speed ≈ 9000 RPM
• Life is Brush Limited• Slower Response (Rotor inertia)• Mechanical
• High Efficiency• Long Life bearing limited (5x)• Highest Speed. 30% Faster Response• Quieter, Cleaner

Used in Brushless Motor Also
Sensor
• Analog• Range of travel is Limited• Life is Wiper and Element Wear Limited• Mechanical Losses• Vulnerable to Vibration
• Solid State• Requires Magnetic Field• Varies voltage in response to magnetic field • Travel Range not limited – Arbitrary ‘Zero’• Long Life, No mechanical contact, Low Torque
fVulnerable to Vibration
•Temperature Sensitive• Bulky, Miniature Versions used
• Requires processing of output to derive position• Used in Brushless Motor and Servo Output Shaft• Compact
