Which torque spec should we be looking at when comparing specs to other brands of servos?

Very good question!

For example the t-120 and t-180 have close to the same speed but one has 50% more torque, at that point why should I buy the t-120? Or the t-250 vs the t-300 which are very close in specs? Are they brushless? I get the gears are CNC metal but are they steel, titanium...? Hope Tekin guys don't take this wrong.

That is a fine question, but I was wanting to know if other servo brands are rated in what Tekin is calling torque or dynamic torque. I've never seen two different torque specs listed on the same servo before.

What's their policy on stripped gears, are they covered under warranty?

It's not clear based on what I'm reading here:

IMO, if it does not explicitly state that it is covered by the warranty then it isn't covered.

Yeah, I tend to agree with this line of thought.... I have to wonder if they will offer any gear replacement sets, not seeing any posted yet.

The plain/running torque is the maximum weight the servo can move (e.g. the servo lifting a 10kg weight), dynamic torque is stall torque as the amount of force the servo can sustain until it can no longer hold it.

so essentially the same thing?

in the case of the T360, it can only lift 382 Oz but but also lift 479? Something doesn't make sense about that. If your servo stalls at 480, why not say its max torque is 470 and forget goofy things like dynamic torque.


Comparing just the T-360 vs a savox 1230SG, the savox will be a better buy unless Tekin can keep the price down but Tekin is very proud of their stuff, so I bet these will be prohibitively expensive.

I should've tried harder to explain myself :) the thing is:
-the t-360 can lift 382oz from the ground and do reps like an exercise but if you power the servo and then attach a load it can hold 479oz because it isn't doing "exercise", just holding it. Once it has to move, the limit is 382oz. Further answering your question, if a manufacturer rated servos for stall then that t-360 would have serious problems steering or braking anything requiring above 382oz of force.

I get what your saying but using something like dynamic torque as a marketing point is misleading. I dont think any other large servo makers use that. I still think savox will offer the better deal, but Tekin does make good products. Just call it 382oz of torque and let everything else be gravy.
