Eric dug up the following from the Pittman web site.

The spec sheet says of the 19.1V GM8712 gearmotor, with a 60.5:1
reducing gearbox:

    Gearmotor Data:

        Gearbox Efficiency              66%
        No-load Speed                   128 RPM

    Motor Data:

        Continuous Torque (Max)         1.3 oz-in
        Peak Torque (Stall)             5.1 oz-in
        No-load Speed                   7729 RPM

    Winding Data:

        Torque Constant                 3.06 oz-in/A
        Resistance                      10.80 Ohms
        No-load Current                 0.14 A
        Peak Current (Stall)            1.76 A


I take all that to mean (in theory) out the gearbox shaft:

        Continuous Torque (Max)

            1.3 oz-in  *  60.5:1  *  66%  =  51.9 oz-in

        Peak Torque (Stall)

            5.1 oz-in  *  60.5:1  *  66%  =  203.6 oz-in
