TGIF :w00t: I got the Savox servo to day here are some pics with some specs written on the box, hard to read very small print and the box is glossy makes it hard to get clear pic...what it says from left to right SW-0240MG --200.0 grams--0.15 (speed/sec/60 degrees)--35.0/486.1 (Torque/kg-cm/Oz-in) looks like they put silicone around all the screws ..if anyone need to see more pics like in car let me know and measurements I can provide as well .:lol:

FYI... See that "IP67" on the box. That's the rating standard information.


What does IP67 Mean?

IP stands for 'Ingress Protection'

An IP number is used to specify the environmental protection of enclosures around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests.

The IP number is composed of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against solid objects (dust and debris) and the second against liquids (water). The higher the number, the better the protection.

First Number
0 - No protection (Sometimes X)
1 - Protected against solid objects up to 50mm³
2 - Protected against solid objects up to 12mm³
3 - Protected against solid objects up to 2.5mm³
4 - Protected against solid objects up to 1mm³
5 - Protected against dust, limited ingress (no harmful deposit)
6 - Totally protected against dust


Second Number
0 - No protection (Sometimes X)
1 - Protection against vertically falling drops of water (e.g. condensation)
2 - Protection against direct sprays of water up to 15 degrees from vertical
3 - Protection against direct sprays of water up to 60 degrees from vertical
4 - Protection against water sprayed from all directions - limited ingress permitted
5 - Protected against low pressure jets of water from all directions - limited ingress permitted
6 - Protected against low pressure jets of water, limited ingress permitted
7 - Protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m
8 - Protected against long periods of immersion under pressure


In this case the Savox SW-0240MG (IP67 rating) is completely protected against dust (6) and is protected from water from 15cm up to 1m (7).
