No torque. (unless it hits something). I assume you mean a radius of 3-5cm. A=V^2/r Surface speed at radius of 5cm and 1200RPM (20RPS) is 5*20*3.14... = 3m/s. Or, A=9/.05 = 9*20 = 180m/s^2. For a gram, that's an out-of-balance force of 18g. In an assembly that'll weigh many kilos, this is not going to be damaging. It may show up as a little extra vibration. Of course, the trivial solution to balance it out is to simply use two clips, one pointing clockwise, one anti, with the heads spaced at 180 degrees.
