If you use a rs775 motor for this I think you'll have some problems. The bar is either going to rotate extraordinarily fast or motor will be stalled and burn up in about the same amount of time. In either case it will draw a great deal of current without any gearing.

I agree - I just assumed you are using all your window motors for some reason.
