I am rotating a wheel (similar to bicycle tube) around a horizontal axis.

My wheel inertia or load inertia is 8 kg-m2. I need to rotate the wheel from 5-40 rpm So I need to use a electric motor with a gearbox.

Can anyone suggest a motor specification with the gear ratio for this application.

I really appreciate this help.
