➡ Engineering recommendation: ≥20% safety margin

5. Torque-Speed Curve

• Rated torque stability at low speed

• High efficiency in mid-speed range

• Power-limitation area at extreme speed

Ideal for frequent stop-and-go and precise slow-speed control.

6. Application Scenarios

• Warehouse AGVs: 300–1500 kg payload

• Four-way shuttles

• Heavy-duty lifting mobile robots
