In the distant past (2000) we used a globe motor to rotate a set of forklift type arms from a stowed position. As the arms passed vertical, gravity would take over and the arms desended quickly. The globe motor was programmed to move foreward fast and then switched to a slow reverse to counteract the effect of gravity. The arms then continued to rotate forward but the action was less stressful on the mechanical parts. We have since learned that it is better to use springs to balance arms.
