An intelligent door lock system includes components, a drive shaft of a lock device, a processor coupled to a wireless communication device, and an energy source coupled to a circuit. A device that converts energy into mechanical energy is coupled to the circuit and the drive shaft. The device that converts energy is coupled to the energy source to receive energy from the energy source. A ramp-up speed, a steady state speed and a ramp down speed are applied to the device that converts energy into mechanical energy. The ramp-up speed is applied when a first component initially engages with a second component. The steady state speed is applied following the initial engagement and is an operational speed that the device which converts energy uses during a standard operation mode. The ramp down speed is applied as the first and second components begin a state of non-engagement.
