These boxing machines use a motor to turn the foam arms, I need help finding out what motors they use and what would be the torque and speed rating of these motors. Are they possible to find online?
Looking at the links your posted, thank you, the operation appears to be ONLY using solenoids, not motors.
What does this have to do with Arduino. They use a blue and red motor. That is the best I can guess with the information given.
From an Arduino perspective (coding if you're not very experienced), I would use 1/5 scale RC-type servos. The trick to this approach would be the linkage from the servo output shaft to the plastic or foam arms, but it can be done (I have married one of these servos to a metal bracket and ultimately to a plastic skeleton forearm for opening and closing a treasure chest lid).
For your project, it will be all the mechanical engineering to make something that holds together as the heavy bag the device is attached to is being punched, kicked etc. However, since servos such as

are intended for larger scale RC basher type buggies and cars, if your custom linkage is sound then these guys can take a pretty good licking.
Note, I am not an engineer or anything like that, just a hobbyist in Arduino and RC related fields, so this is how I would probably try to build something like what I imagine you are looking for in terms of ease of build, price point, and durability.
Now that you have all that information, what are you going to do with it? Are you going to make one of those things? How will an Arduino be involved?

Yes, so I want to find out the motor as I want to connect it all to an arduino and replicate this machine. Ive got all the parts and the motor is the most difficult part. You mentioned solenoid but now I dont know how they use it. How to connect it for my project. Any ideas?
Sure! Use mosfets to switch the power to the solenoids. Use springs to return the arms to their resting positions. That is exactly the motion I see in the links you gave.

Why not post a preliminary annotated schematic showing how you will connect all of the items you have chosen. This will probably save you several replacements that will get fried if mis-connected.
Yh im new to motors so having a difficult time creating this mechanism. Would be of great help of you could share a diagram of some sort and Ill figure it out hopefully
Use Google to search for "lever classes" and look for images. Find class 3 levers and use that for each of t he solenoid controlled arms.

bilal201 please tell me how your project went! I want to do the same! The servos used in the Stryke are 35KG blue servos from Digitalservo, I have pic.
