Preliminary selection data: Ratings are representative engineering values scaled across the present BL frame-size capability. Power values are consistent with the stated continuous torque and rated speed. Final production ratings depend on stack length, winding, DC-bus voltage, controller current, feedback, cooling, operating point and duty cycle, and are confirmed on the selected motor datasheet.
