HSR-8498HB servo specification:Dimensions: 40 x 20 x 47 mmWeight: 55g

• Operating voltage: 6 - 7.4 VMax. rotational angle: 180 degrees
• Torque: 7.4 kg / cm at 6.0 Volts (9.0 kg / cm at 7.4 Volts)
• Transit speed for 60 degrees: 0.2 sec. at 6 Volts (0.18 sec. at 7.4 Volts)
• HMI (HiTEC Multi-protocol Interface)
• Data feedback: current, voltage, position
• Optional: servo parameter adjustment (requires servo programmer kit)
• Daisy-chain serial interface for up to 128 servos
• PWM interface (RC standard)

Software comes in 3 flavours:

• Catch & Play - Easy operation. ex: raise arm by moving the robot arm to the start-point and end-point, confirm the start position and end position with a mouse-click. The robot then carries out the whole movement process.
• Robo-Script and Robo-Remocon: The computer screen displays sliders for every individual servo (joint). Moving the sliders changes the position of the servos. Simple movements can then be assembled to produce complex movements simply by clicking the mouse. REMOCON provides a graphical user interface for calling up these movements.
• Robo-Basic: with Catch & Play function, convenient programming for complex tasks for advanced operators.
• Independent development environment including Editor and Compiler
