You can couple to a worm gear system as some have discussed or you can use a pneumatic operated brake to hold the arm in place. You can even use a servo motor to operate a mechanical stopper, the choice is up to you.
Another option is to use a Nothin' But Dewalts style gearbox and leave the anti-backdrive pins in.
