Correct!

Try playing with JVN's Mechanical Design Calculator in the linear mechanism tab on the bottom of the sheet. You can enter the motor you plan to use, its reduction, the weight it has to lift, and the distance it needs to go and it'll give you ballpark numbers of how long it will take to lift and how much its capable of lifting.
