Notes
- The discontinued Cirrus CS-501BB is a high-quality, standard-sized analog servo that is distinguished by its exceptionally smooth and precise operation, thanks to a dual ball bearing (BB) supported output shaft. This servo is aimed at the discerning hobbyist who values a refined control feel and long-term reliability. While it offers strong all-around performance, its main selling point is the precision that the ball bearings provide. This makes it a superb choice for the flight controls on a pattern or scale aerobatic airplane, where smooth, proportional movements are essential for a high-quality presentation. It is also an excellent steering servo for a 1/10 scale touring car, where its slop-free accuracy helps in carving perfect, consistent cornering lines.
- The character of the CS-501BB is defined by its precision and longevity. The dual ball bearings create a very rigid and low-friction geartrain, resulting in perfect centering and a direct, connected feel. This allows pilots and drivers to execute maneuvers with a higher degree of finesse and accuracy. The ball bearings also dramatically reduce wear, meaning the servo maintains its like-new" precision for much longer than a bushing-equipped servo. It is an investment in a higher quality of control.
- In robotics the CS-501BB is an excellent choice for applications where smooth accurate motion is a priority. It is ideal for building stable camera gimbals precise sensor-scanning platforms or the joints of a robotic arm where repeatable positioning is critical. For any robotics project where a smooth controlled and accurate motion is more important than raw brute-force torque the CS-501BB offers a superior level of performance."
