Overview
The 9150 is the 180 kg·cm member of the family: 64 × 32.8 × 76.5 mm, 452 g, black anodised CNC aluminium case with a fin stack and a 180° mechanical limit. It is the servo to reach for when 130 kg·cm is not enough margin.
Torque is 115 kg·cm at 8.4 V, 160 at 12.6 V and 180 at 16.8 V, with 0.14 s/60° no-load speed and 10 A stall current at the top rail. Steel geartrain, two ball bearings, 25T-φ9.95 mm spline with a metal horn, 500 mm lead.
This page covers the PWM build: a standard 50–333 Hz pulse input, 1500 µs neutral and a 3–4 µs dead band. It is the version to pick when the servo hangs off a receiver or a flight controller and you want nothing between the two.

How to size it
The 180 kg·cm figure is a 16.8 V number. At 12.6 V the same servo is 160 kg·cm and at 8.4 V it is 115 kg·cm, so the linkage should be sized at the rail you will run, with margin for pack sag under load.
Stall current hits 10 A at 16.8 V and no-load current is 400 mA. Holding a heavy load statically draws current continuously — check the supply and the wiring for the holding case, not just for the peak.
FAQ
What is the difference between the 9150 and the 9130?
The 9150 is the 180 kg·cm unit (64 × 32.8 × 76.5 mm, 452 g, 180° limit); the 9130 is 130 kg·cm (64 × 33 × 76 mm, 411 g, 220° limit). Same family, different gear ratio and case finish.
Can it hold 180 kg·cm continuously?
It can hold it statically, but check the duty cycle: a static hold draws current and the case fins are the only heat path. For continuous holding, derate or add airflow.
What pulse range does it accept?
The inspection sheet specifies a 500–2500 µs window (800–2200 µs on the 9130/9150) with 1500 µs neutral, both customizable at order. Feeding it outside that window is out of spec.
Can I drive it from a normal receiver?
Signal-wise yes, but check the supply. This servo wants 8.4–16.8 V, not a 6 V receiver pack, so the power rail has to be separate from the receiver’s.
