    I am not sure which of the motors you are using, best to give the direct page and full motor specs.

    Motors are just part of the issue, the other big factor is design. You can use SimCalc to help work out the tradeoffs between design Vs physics and what motors are needed to drive a given design at a desired level of performance: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...e-linear-speed-and-forces-of-your-design.270/

    thank you for your reply.
    My design should be something like thishttps://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/2dof-with-24v-dc-motors-and-arduino-nano.5667/
    I was thinking of using Arduino Uno and IBT2 (or Sabertooth 2x32 if needed).
    For motors I only have this data MY1016Z3 350W 24/36V 3850RPM 1.11Nm.
    This is the link to the engines https://www.alatimilic.hr/shop/Reze...r za samogradnju elektro vozila MY1016Z3 350W
    Since I'm not particularly experienced, I'm not sure if they fit my design, so I'm asking for your help.
    Thank you in advance

    get the most powerful motor you can afford - make sure the gearbox has a ratio of 30:1 to 60:1

    Find out by the gate ore garage door installer close to you (I'm also installer and I done myne cheap)

    1 way ) DC 24 volt electric motor for a sectional ore tip-up garage door operator. make sure the gears is brass and not plastics .
    2 way ) best way :24 volt gate motors , 1-60 ratio motor gearbox with a motor input flange to join them .(will need engineering works to join them )
