The discontinued Graupner DS 8511 is a classic, high-performance digital servo that has been a benchmark for quality and reliability in the mini servo class. This servo is designed for the discerning pilot who needs a compact, powerful, and precise actuator for their high-performance models. The DS 8511 is a premier choice for the cyclic controls on a 500-class helicopter, for the flight controls on a .25 to .40 size aerobatic airplane, or for the steering on a 1/12 scale race car. It is renowned for its very smooth gear train, fast response, and strong, precise centering.
The identity of the DS 8511 is its legacy of trusted, high-performance digital control in a compact package. It is a servo that has been proven at the highest levels of competition. It provides the locked-in, confident feel that is essential for precision flying, allowing pilots to feel a perfect connection to their machine. It is a true workhorse of the premium digital mini servo class, valued for its long-lasting and predictable performance.
For robotics builders creating compact but high-performance systems, the Graupner DS 8511 is an outstanding choice. Its combination of digital precision, power, and a compact size makes it ideal for the joints of a sophisticated, dynamic walking robot or for a fast and accurate robotic manipulator. It offers a professional level of performance for ambitious, medium-scale robotics projects.
