Precision Servo Control: Futaba BLS151 Overview

The Futaba BLS151 Brushless Standard Air Servo is tailored for model aircraft, offering a compact profile and dependable action on control surfaces. Its brushless motor construction yields a lifespan at least five times longer than conventional brushed servos, lowering the need for replacements.

Why This Servo Improves Handling

  • Brushless Motor: Fitted with samarium cobalt magnets to smooth movement and resist shock and vibration.
  • Power Characteristics: Draws power comparable to brushed digital units while supplying brushless reliability.
  • Bearing Setup: Dual ball bearings maintain smooth rotation and precise positioning under load.

Specifications

  • Power Supply: 4.8V ONLY
  • Speed: 0.15 sec/60° @ 4.8V
  • Torque: 133.3 oz-in @ 4.8V
  • Size: 1.57 x 0.79 x 1.37" (40 x 20 x 34.8mm)
  • Weight: 1.59oz (45g)

The BLS151 is well matched to roles demanding torque and quick response. For best results use a 4.8V NiCd battery and reliable receivers like FM, PCM or FASST, and inspect linkages periodically.

No, the BLS151 is not specified as waterproof. Avoid exposing it to moisture and fit protective covers if running in damp conditions.
Use secure screw mounting in a stiff tray and check alignment of pushrods and clevises to prevent side loads that can reduce bearing life.
It is designed for high-torque, quick-response applications, but continuous extreme loads will shorten service life. Match the servo to the control surface size and aircraft demands.
