The MG996R is a metal gear servo motor with a maximum stall torque of 11 kg/cm. Like other RC servos the motor rotates from 0 to 180 degree based on the duty cycle of the PWM wave supplied to its signal pin.
Applications
Used as actuators in many robots like Biped Robot, Hexapod, robotic arm etc..
Commonly used for steering system in RC toys
Robots where position control is required without feedback
Less weight hence used in multi DOF robots like humanoid robots
