∗ M load
M load = load torque referred to the motor shaft when hoisting [Nm]
i ⋅η (energy flow from the motor to the load)
M load load torque referred to the motor shaft when lowering [Nm]

M load = ⋅η
i (energy flow from the load to the motor)
Gearbox ratio for the shortest accelerating time with a constant motor torque
