Keyang Accident

OK so we had an accident today and i am trying to assess the damages. we have both keyang motors driving an arm with a lot of torque. we are using gas springs to levy the load on the motors, but as we were installing today the arm fell. the arm nearly crushed the electronics, but a chair broke the arm's fall. (Nobody got hurt, they just wet their pants)

As it fell i heard clicking. Not knowing too much about the keyang it scares me. It seems to work OK. I cannot turn the gear with my hand with no power and with power it spins. when the motor is moving a load i hear the same clicking when it stalls.

Any Idea whether it is broken?
