What is the difference between a Techtop TAI 56A and 56B motor?

Both 56A and 56B belong to the Techtop TAI series. According to Techtop, the difference relates to the motor's internal design and performance requirements rather than its external mounting dimensions. Techtop advises that the same TAI 56 dimensional drawings can be used for the corresponding 56A and 56B motor variants. The 56B designation should not be confused with the separate Techtop TAIB brake motor series.
