Rated current I
N
 
RMS motor phase current for generating the particular rated torque. Specification of the 
RMS value of a sinusoidal current. 
Rated speed n
N
 
The characteristic speed range for the motor is defined in the speed-torque diagram by the 
rated speed. 
Rated torque M
N
 
Thermally permissible continuous torque in S1 duty at the rated motor speed. 
Shaft torsional stiffness c
T
 
This specifies the shaft torsional stiffness from the center of the rotor laminated core to the 
center of the shaft end.  
Stall current I
0
 
Motor phase current for generating the particular static torque. Specification of the RMS 
value of a sinusoidal current. 
Static torque M
0
 
Thermal limit torque at motor standstill corresponding to a utilization according to 100 K or 
60 K. This can be output for an unlimited time when n = 0. M
0
 is always greater than the 
rated torque M
N
. 
 
Thermal time constant T
th
 
Defines the increase in the motor frame temperature when the motor load is suddenly 
increased (step function) to the permissible S1 torque. The motor has reached 63% of its 
final temperature after T
th
. 
Torque constant k
T
 (value for a 100 K average winding temperature rise)  
Quotient obtained from the static torque and stall current. 
 
Calculation:  k
T
 = M
0, 100 K
 / I
0, 100 K
 
  The constant applies up to approx. 2 ∙ M
0, 60 K
 in the case of self-
cooled motors
