The discontinued Graupner DES 565 is a high-performance digital mini servo from the esteemed DES lineup, specifically tuned for high speed. This servo combines a fast, responsive digital controller with a motor and gear system optimized for velocity, making it a specialized tool for agile models. The DES 565 is the premier choice for the tail rotor on a 500-class helicopter, where its incredible speed and precision result in a perfectly locked-in, professional-level tail. It is also an outstanding servo for the flight controls on a fast-moving pylon racer or ducted fan jet where a rapid response is essential for control at high speeds.
The defining characteristic of the DES 565 is its digital velocity. The digital controller provides an immediate, high-fidelity response, and the high-speed motor system translates those signals into movement with virtually no lag. For a competitive helicopter pilot or racer, this can provide a significant advantage, allowing for quicker corrections and more precise control at the limit. It is an instrument-grade component for those who are serious about speed.
In advanced robotics, the Graupner DES 565 is a superb actuator. Its combination of digital precision and high speed makes it ideal for building a fast and accurate robotic manipulator or a high-speed tracking system. For any robotics project where the dynamic response from a mini-sized servo is the most critical factor, the DES 565 offers a professional level of performance.
