Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.

pull-out torque
the maximum value of torque that an AC motor can deliver. An induction motor operating at the pull-out torque will operate at maximum slip, and loading it beyond the pull-out torque will cause the motor to stall. Synchronous motors remain at synchronous speed up to the pull-out torque. Exceeding the pull-out torque for a synchronous machine will lead to pole slipping and destruction of the machine.
