Data for motors with roller bearings at the drive end (back end). Motors with ball bearings at the drive end are
for coupled duty only.

Deriving Motor Constants

Various motor constants are required to set control functions for stabilized
operation of motor and controls. The following information will make it
possible to derive approximate motor constants from the nameplate data.
