According to the product specs the new HDD servos can lift up to 19kg. I used several online converters for kg to pds and it came out to 41 pounds. Is this correct?
Thanks,

Here's some assistance to understand what the measurement means. Please read how a servo works tutorial from the learn section to understand how the torque of a servo is measured: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Lesson/48#part6
That would be 19kg-cm or not 19kg... You are confusing mass and force which are 2 separate units of measurement... You did however get the conversion correct... 1kg = 2.2lbs
Mulberry, did you understand the tutorial? As Richard said, that rating is kg at one cm. If your servo arm is 2 cm from center then you have half of 19 kg, 3cm is a third, etc. So divide the servo arm length into the rating at 1cm. Another factor is the weight of the arm itself which further reduces total additional weight it can lift.
