MD70MH-CAN
11.6mm, Cored, High Voltage, Metal Gear Actuator (7.4V)
The MD70MH-CAN is an 11.6mm, 13-gram metal gear micro servo actuator engineered for compact, weight-sensitive UAV and fixed-wing drone applications. Featuring a cored brush motor, single output ball bearing, and magnetic rotary encoder, the MD70MH-CAN delivers precision motion control in a form factor optimized for tight airframe installations.
Operating at 4.8–7.4V and supporting CAN 2.0A/B and DroneCAN (UAVCAN v0.0) protocols, the MD70MH-CAN integrates seamlessly into modern UAS architectures that require reliable digital command interfaces. At maximum voltage (7.4V), it delivers up to 3.8 kgf·cm (52.77 oz·in) of stall torque with a no-load speed of 0.12 sec/60°.
Backed by Hitec's 50+ years of servo engineering and ISO 9001:2015 certification, the MD70MH-CAN is a trusted choice for defense contractors, drone manufacturers, and UAS system integrators requiring NDAA-compliant, US-supported precision actuators. Compatible with the DPC-20 and DPC-CAN programmers for full parameter customization.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION > DPC-20 PROGRAMMER
- Hardware Type: PC USB-C to 3-pin (PWM/TTL) and 4-pin (RS485/CAN) interface.
- Capable of configuring and testing HITEC digital servo actuators.
- Compatible with various control methods (PWM, RS485, CAN), offering a seamless transition from legacy DPC-11, DPC-485, and DPC-CAN units.
- Different servo actuator series require dedicated UI programs due to variations in communication protocols.
- Ensure you connect the appropriate power supply to the DPC-20 for the connected servo actuator.
- For servo actuators (5/7 Series, 9 Series, D/MD Series), connect to the 3-pin port on the DPC-20, and connect the power supply to the BAT- and BAT+ pins on the 4-pin port, paying careful attention to polarity.
- DPC-20 Wiring Diagrams are located on the DPC-20 UI HUB DOCUMENTATION.
