Overview
The S2230F is the largest of the slim-wing series: 32 kg·cm at 8.4 V, 48 g, in a 15 mm case, at 0.09 s/60°. It runs a 5.96 mm output shaft on the same 25T spline as the smaller models, so it takes the same horns while carrying the load through a thicker shaft.
At this torque a slim servo is usually replacing a full-size one that would not fit. That is a genuine trade: you get the envelope, and you pay in thermal headroom — 32 kg·cm out of a 15 mm case has less aluminium around the motor than the same torque in a 20 mm case would.
Performance at each supply voltage
| Supply | No-load speed | Peak stall torque | Idle current | Stall current |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.0 V | 0.13 s/60° (476 °/s) | 22 kg·cm (2.16 N·m / 306 oz·in) | 190 mA | 3.5 A |
| 7.4 V | 0.10 s/60° (600 °/s) | 28 kg·cm (2.75 N·m / 389 oz·in) | 220 mA | 4 A |
| 8.4 V | 0.09 s/60° (667 °/s) | 32 kg·cm (3.14 N·m / 444 oz·in) | 250 mA | 4.8 A |

How to size it
Torque budget = load at the horn × horn length from spline centre × 1.5 safety factor.
Worked example: a 4.5 kg surface whose centre of pressure sits 35 mm from the spline centre needs 4.5 × 9.81 × 0.035 × 1.5 ≈ 2.32 N·m. The S2230F delivers 3.14 N·m at 8.4 V — about 35% headroom. Because this model runs warm by design, keep that margin rather than sizing it to the calculated load exactly; a slim case has less surface area to shed the heat that stall current produces.
FAQ
Can I run it directly from a 2S LiPo?
Yes. 8.4 V at full charge is the top rail in the sheet and the rail the 32 kg·cm figure is measured at.
Why are there three torque figures?
They are one servo at three rails: 22 kg·cm at 6.0 V, 28 at 7.4 V, 32 at 8.4 V. Size against the rail your BEC actually holds under load, not the nominal pack voltage.
Does it rotate continuously?
Travel is 360° when commanded over 1000–2000 µs, as a factory customization. Standard units work across the 700–2300 µs window.
Is it waterproof?
Splash water resistance, customizable. No IP rating is published, so do not treat it as submersible.
How much is 32 kg·cm in oz·in?
About 444 oz·in, or 3.14 N·m.
