What I missed in the description is motor temperature, Especially designing small motors (<100 W) is all about the control of power dissipation. No. 1 failure mode is a motor which is too hot. The site www.specamotor.com is a brand-independant electric motor selection site where temperature is taken into account. Also matters like you mentioned, velocity, current, etc. are taken into account and shown to the visitor for the specific workpoint (torque and speed) that the application requires. Keep up the good work, Edward Hello Heri,
