Hi guys -
While I've been utilizing HiTech TG's with Maraging 300 gears in place of some of the Titanium gearing, I'm needing to make a decision on purchasing servos with significantly higher torque.

I've been testing an off-the-shelf Seiko PS-50 (no modifications), and it's still a bit light-weight for my application.
Seiko does have a 5,000 oz-in model (PS-105) - which is getting closer, and I might be able to over-voltage this by 50% and push an additional 30% (~6,500 oz-in).

While smaller is better, the PS-50 size (~100mm x 44mm x ~100mm), I can manage the actual envelope size by redesigning the case, if necessary.

Ultimately, I'd need to push upwards of 12,000 oz-in of torque (& 2,000+ holding) and still preserve +-45deg of motion within .5 seconds (full 90deg in under 1 sec is necessary).
I've seen a few things out there, but short of designing my own - I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of something more capable.

Some really odd post just lately almost seem like bots

Might be worth asking something like this @ simhq or maybe a racing sim website

haha Nope, not a bot But thanks for checking Urban! Figured I'd ask *just in case*

Actually, http://www.thewayiplay.com might be a good place to ask, or to look for links to other applicable sites. Mostly racing sim pit builders on that site.

Yaskawa makes the most compact/powerful servo systems (3ph AC)) that I know of. Typically, their motors are 1/3 the size of equivalent motors from other brands. If you have budget constraints, forget about buying them new, but on ebay you can get them for pennies n the dollar...

someone wanna explain in english what the application is?

Most likely he's building a model Mech or something like this.
If thats the case don't try a 2 legged one with normal servos. The realy strong ones will be to slow regarding reaktion time and buying strong high precision servos won't be cheap.
