The max output power of the motor is often useful for selecting a motor that will be capable of moving your mechanism at the desired rate at the expected loading conditions... or showing you that the motor you planned to use will not be capable, no matter how you gear it.

This paper has all the commonly-needed motor equations, and an easy-to-use calculator:
