When applying DC motors to any type of application, temperature effects need to be considered in order to properly apply the motor.  Performance will change as the motor temperature changes.  When reviewing DC motor curves, the user needs to ask the question “Do these curves represent performance of the motor at room temperature, or do these curves illustrate performance at the maximum rated temperature?”  Depending on the temperature and the required operating point on the motor curve, the performance difference between “cold” and “hot” conditions can be significant.
