We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Torque Rating",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Versatile DC motors provide smooth operation from
Ametek Technical and Industrial Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "Pittman series 9000 brush-commutated DC motors have two-pole stators that incorporate seven-slot skewed armatures to minimise magnetic cogging and enable smooth and
quiet running performance".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Servo motors offer excellent dynamic response from
Lenze-ACTech: "Both the standard size MCS and compact MUS ranges are available with current ratings to match the PositionServo drive range and output ratings to suit a wide variety of applications".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Heason Technologies Group
concerning its TwinSpin rotary actuators
- take a look at Rotary actuators offer high precision
which says: "A new range of high-precision rotary actuators takes full advantage of the bearing reducers' output torque to size ratio by combining its robust sealed housing with three motor technologies".
Take a look also at the news release from Ondrives/Rino Industries, Flexible drive shafts offer many options,
as well as Seals keep bulk materials in their place from CinchSeal,
and Heason Technologies takes on the TwinSpin range from Heason Technologies Group.
