I have a Hitec HS422 servo with 2 Sharp sensors and a sensor-mounting bracket on top of it.
I was wondering how much time it takes for the servo to travel 2°. And howmuch time it takes to travel 4°...
The specs say:
"- Speed (sec/60o): 0.16"
So that's 60° travel in 0.16seconds. Does that mean that the time it takes to travel 2° is 0.16/30=5.3ms
Or is this not correct?

looks good to me.

Won't mass have some kind of effect? Ie if the servo is stationary then it could take longer to move the first two degrees than the second two degrees?

No. Unfortunately, it's more complicated than that. Consider that the servo motor and gear train must accelerate from stop to max. speed at the beginning and from max. speed to stop at the end. Your calculation would only be correct if the time for acceleration & deceleration is zero, which it's not.

You are correct, sir.
