Overview
The BLS8145D is the 48 kg·cm member of the standard-size brushless family: 20 × 40 × 38.4 mm case, 73 g, and 0.106 s/60° at 8.4 V. It is the highest-torque servo in this footprint short of stepping up to the 30 V industrial line.
The case is CNC aluminium with the fins milled into the sides, the geartrain is stainless steel on two ball bearings, and the output is a 25T-φ5.94 mm spline with a POM horn. Mechanical limit 210°, dead band 1 µs, lead 300 mm.
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
Torque is 37 kg·cm at 6.0 V, 43 at 7.4 V and 48 at 8.4 V, at 0.144, 0.122 and 0.106 s/60°. Even on a tired 2S pack this is a 43 kg·cm servo, which is why it is the usual choice where a 35 kg·cm model was marginal.
Stall current is 5.2 A at 8.4 V against 440 mA no-load. Two of these on one 6 A BEC will brown out a receiver at stall — run a separate servo rail or a BEC with real headroom.
FAQ
BLS8135D or BLS8145D?
Same case and spline; the 8145D gives 48 kg·cm instead of 35 and 0.106 s/60° instead of 0.10, at 73 g instead of 77 g, but stall current rises from 4.0 A to 5.2 A. Choose on the supply, not just the torque number.
What frame rate does the PWM build accept?
50–333 Hz per the inspection sheet. The 800–2200 µs window and 1500 µs neutral are unchanged at any frame rate in that range.
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.
