Question about backlash of gear motor

Hi so I came across this gearmotor: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Bipolar w/ 51:1 Planetary Gearbox - RobotShop
but the backlash doesn’t seem to be on there, I am wondering what would be the number for that? Also what would be the weight for this item? These are important for the robot arm I am making
Thanks
