The load torque and the required start-up velocity define the gearbox output torque, the
output speed and therefore the output power.
The required drive power is calculated from this:

Dimensioning for S1 duty
The gearbox itself generates heat due to friction and acts as a thermal barrier preventing
heat from being dissipated through the motor flange. This is the reason that the torque must
be reduced for S1 duty.
The required motor torque is calculated as follows:
