Yes, it's a very high torque motor.

I am using the ASCU, in a G&P m120 gearbox, which eliminates the anti reverse latch. It fully depends on the cutoff lever and motor to start and stop the cycles. What was happening with the G&P m120 motor was that at the end of a cycle, the motor could not completely stop as soon as the power is disconnected. The end result is that the gears would continue to spin forwards and start a new cycle, I'll call it a slight overspin from built up forward momentum/energy, then when the motor stopped the spring would be slightly compressed and that tension would reverse the gears causing the back spin to neutral.

This was bad for me because if I caught the back spin with a trigger pull, it'd put a ton of stress on the motor. The TM eg1000 was significantly better than the G&P m120 but the m170 solved it since it will stop the moment power has been disconnected.
