Will a record weight harm the motor in a direct drive turntable?


I've considered buying a record weight for my Denon DP-59L turntable, but I'm concerned that adding the weight would put added strain on the direct drive motor.  Does anyone have experience or advice with this?

On my Yamaha PX-2 direct drive, I am using a VEM Record Clamp which is not very heavy but has Dynamic Damping.  Seems to work great.
