Blue Bird BMS-126WV+ Servo – 6.5Kg.cm 0.07s 11.3g 10mm

The Blue Bird BMS-126WV+ is optimised or both good speed and good torque, making it the medium option in the new Blue Bird BMS-125WV+/126WV+/127WV+ range of 11g servos. At 8.4V the torque of the BMS-126WV+ is still a very impressive 6.5 kg.cm while also having an excellent speed of 0.07 seconds per 60° of movement. These are very impressive speed and torque figures, making it good for most applications. It is suitable for all control surfaces except flaps on F5J models, most gliders up to 3.5 m wingspan and many RC sports models and helicopters. At 10 mm thick it is suitable for mounting in small fuselages and thin wings and tails.

The WV in the name stands for Wide Voltage, indicating that this servo has wide range of acceptable supply voltages and is suitable for 1S LiPo, 4 or 5 cell NiMH and 2S LiPo operation.

The + plus moniker on these servos is to indicate this version is an upgrade on the BMS-125WV we previously sold. Some of the photos still show the BMS-126WV as apart from the label the new servo looks identical.

The Blue Bird BMS-126HV+ is a great servo built to the same space saving form factor as the MKS HV6100/DS6100. It is similarly precise, with no free play in the geartrain, and it is even more powerful and faster than the competing product. The large output spline is identical to Futaba 25 tooth splines, so replacement output arms are readily available. Note the output spline is not the same as MKS so the servo cannot be used with most MKS accessories.

Although it looks like the BMS-105HV the new BMS-126 WV+ uses better components, better bearings and an improved internal design and does not suffer the longevity problems that affected some high hours BMS-105 installations. The BMS-106HV was not affected by the problem anyway.
