To elaborate,
Have you counterbalanced your arm?
Don't forget that when pushing something down, gravity works
with the motor, but
against you when pulling it back up. The same applies to any mechanism that works with gravity one way, and fights it the other way. Sort of like how going down stairs is easier than going up
If you haven't counterbalanced your arm, then that would produce exactly the type of behavior you describe.
