Abstract: An adapter is provided for coupling an output shaft of a servo to an auxiliary shaft. The adapter includes an adapter body having a longitudinal axis extending from a first end to a second end. The adapter body includes a first bore centered on the longitudinal axis and extending into the first end a first distance. The first bore is configured to accept a portion of the auxiliary shaft. The adapter body also includes a second bore centered on the longitudinal axis and extending into the second end a second distance. The adapter also includes an engagement member positioned within the second bore. The engagement member is configured to accept and engage a portion of the output shaft of the servo.

Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus for providing enhanced hobby servo motor operational capacity are disclosed. Embodiments include a hobby servo motor having a rotatable output shaft. The rotatable output shaft is splined in that it includes a plurality of circumferentially distributed splines. Embodiments also include a shaft attachment mechanism having a spline receiving portion that includes a plurality of circumferentially distributed protrusions sized and dispersed to support functional engagement of the shaft attachment mechanism to the rotatable shaft. The functional engagement is such that rotation of the rotatable shaft causes a corresponding rotation of the shaft attachment mechanism. The shaft attachment mechanism further includes an elongated shaft that is positioned inline with the rotatable output shaft when the shaft attachment is functionally engaged to the rotatable output shaft.
