    That's almost like asking... "what's the longest road that I can drive a car down?"

    You need to be much more specific as far as what specific requirements you need
    or are looking for in order to get an answer that makes sense.

    Beau is certainly right. you need to set parameters for yourself in terms of size, cost, speed and range of rotation.

    here is a place to start: www.servocity.com

    In particular, look at: http://www.servocity.com/html/hsr-5995tg_ultra_torque.html rated at 417 in/oz

    coupled with an add-on gearbox, you can get over 2000 in/oz of torque from a standard size servo.

    At some point, you really have to re-evaluate why you are using a servo.

    If it is for position and power, a stepper motor may give you more with a direct link rather than leverage.

    If it is for rotational power, there are a lot of brushed and brushless motors with gearboxes that can be taylored to your needs.

    These servos are not really true 'industrial servos' and are generally considered 'hobby servos'. They make building quickly within a limited size range considered to be mostly for hobby use.

    These other units not only offer more direct power, they offer the appropriate sized output shaft and bearings to make them last under greater loads.
