how much power is needed to move a linear axis
For linear acceleration of a mass, the power required will depend on how quickly you want to accelerate it.
This is because the Kinetic Energy formula is $E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$. Note the v squared. ...

Torque Problems vs Motor Problem?
The motors have a rated speed of 2750rpm. It doesn't look like there's much of a gear ratio, so at the moment the motors spin at the same speed as the wheels. With 16" wheels, 2750rpm is about ...

Torque Problems vs Motor Problem?
I would swap the gears between the motor and the shaft, as it looks like you are trying to drive the axle shaft faster than the motor.
If you have a small gear on the motor and a larger (*3 or *4) ...

Those are mechanical devices which ...

Measuring shaft torque of a small motor
For future reference,
If you want to measure the shaft torque of a small motor, just couple it with a DC generator (basically a DC motor) and then short circuit the terminals. The power will dissipate ...
