What is the duty cycle of a sit-stand desk motor?

The duty cycle specifies how long the motor can run continuously before needing to rest. Most commercial sit-stand desks have a 2:18 duty cycle (2 minutes on / 18 minutes off). Since a typical height transition takes only 15–20 seconds, this is not a meaningful constraint in normal use. Higher duty cycles (5:25 or better) are rated for more demanding commercial use.
