Futaba S9153 Digital Servo for Responsive Control

The Futaba S9153 Digital Aileron/Elevator Servo is engineered to deliver quick, accurate movements while maintaining strong holding power. It is aimed at hobbyists who require crisp surface response and durable operation.

Sturdy Design and Thermal Handling

The S9153 uses a coreless motor for lower inertia and faster response. Its metal center case helps remove heat during heavy use and the sealed construction resists dust and moisture. Thick wiring is installed to tolerate higher currents without overheating.

Setup Guidance and Compatibility Notes

Fitted with a "J" connector out of the box, the S9153 installs easily into most setups. Be aware it is not compatible with certain AM radios like the CONQUEST AM and FG Series. Minimise lead length and avoid Y-harnesses to maintain peak performance, and fit heavy-duty wires if your installation requires it.

Specifications

  • Speed: 0.15 sec/60 degrees @ 6V
  • Torque: 208 oz/in @ 6V (15 kg/cm)
  • Weight: 3 oz (85g)
  • Dimensions: 1.91" (48.6mm) x 0.99" (25.2mm) x 1.56" (39.7mm)

The Futaba S9153 Digital Servo suits pilots looking for a reliable, high-torque unit for precise control surfaces and extended use in varied conditions.

How do I prevent servo overheating in long flights?

Ensure adequate ventilation around the servo, avoid binding in linkages, and check that the control throws are not excessive. Using the metal case to mount to a heatsinking surface can help.

Are any servo horns included?

This listing specifies the servo itself; confirm what horns are supplied by your vendor. Standard servo arms are typically compatible with the S9153's splined output.

What wiring upgrades are recommended?

If your installation draws significant current, replace thin stock leads with heavier gauge wiring and use direct connections to the power source to reduce voltage drop.
