I ended up with one of those vertical mount gear motors (new) in a crate of surplus "junk" that I had bought. I checked with Amtek regarding the motor, it is rated at 583 oz./in. of torque, making the final output a whopping 344 lb./ft. of torque at 99 volts D.C. Now mine has an encoder on the motor shaft. In the crate of stuff that the motor was in, were items that looked like that they were from some kind of robotic mail server cart and this was the drive motor. Now if I just had a use for it.
