Oh yeah, the reason I mentioned rotating a beam is because I am working on a project and have designed a component which would be rotated by the 185RPM model motor. Therefore, I was wondering how do I take into account the weight/size of the object the motor will be rotating in order to work out...

Oh ok, Sorry, I'm new to this forum! For the 185rpm motor with a gear ratio of 1:45. I would calculate the time taken for the motor to rotate 360 degrees as: ((185/45)/60)*360 = 24.6s to turn 360 degrees. Is this correct. If so great! If not where have I gone wrong?

How would I go about calculating the time taken for the motor on page 2 to move the attached beam 360 degrees? Things such as the rpm and voltage are given in the attached data sheet for various different motors and you can reference anyone you like. I'm more interested in understanding what's...
