I haven't seen comparable data on Stantons but it's aussie cousin Black Beetle states "The weight on the centre pivot should not exceed about 100g (~3.5oz.). For locomotive applications the use of two Black Beetles is recommended."
Is this info available for the Stantons?

Tommy,
I believe the Stanton instructions mention the recommended/maximum weight...or contact NWSL.

I located this info from a 2010 NWSL announcement about the Stantons:

The combination of rigid body, further stiffened by the printed circuit board, and these adjustable bearings means that the Stanton drive can be used in a variety of situations without you having to worry about "axle gear pinch" as a result of sway. We've run the Model 1220 (HO) with 1.5 pounds of weight on it. The unit probably wasn't especially happy, but it moved right along. What's more, the Stanton drive wants weight for better tractive effort. The Stanton drive was engineered to be tough, rugged, and reliable, and it's ready to go to work for you right now.

Thank you,
