AC synchronous motor capacitor

Windburn

I ordered a LYG55T024FS52S motor (https://www.hurst-motors.com/lyg55geared.html), but I misread the information about the capacitor. I thought it said capacitor was supplied with the motor, but that was only for the 115 VAC motors. Since I ordered the 24V, mine did not come with a capacitor. So I’m looking to buy one. The spec sheet says I need a 20/15 mfd 50/60 Hz capacitor. This is the closest I’ve found: http://www.mcmaster.com/7245K721/

Will that work for this purpose?

That seems overkill for that size motor. And more like what you'd find on an AC compressor, washing machine, or ceiling fan motor. You can try one like this first:

But if you find that doesn't have enough kick, then you can go bigger
