Michael,
Not sure if this is what you want. It is what Yaesu recommends when sizing
there rotors for an application.

Copied from WEB site.
What the heck is "K-factor"?
In addition to windload and torque ratings, Yaesu also offers a
specification called "K-factor," which is derived by multiplying the turning
radius of the antenna (in feet) by the weight of the antenna (in pounds).
Add the K-factor of each antenna on the mast together for your total system
K-factor. The resulting number (in foot-pounds) must be less than the
K-factor rating for the rotator.
I hope this is what you are looking for.

Hi all:
Is there a formula to calculate antenna K coefficient?
Thanks to all & 73:
