Thanks a million in advance!

Explanation:
I think Kenneth was on the right lines here, and should have posted; as far as I understand, this is NOT what JCC is saying, but what I understand Kenneth to mean. But then I may be wrong....

Explanation:
The motors must be capable of maintaining the closed position while retaining torque.

My take is that it is "Drehmoment sparend" so the retaining, saving, preserving. Those all might work.

agree  Ken Cox: possibly 'with a minimum of torque' ('drehmomentsparend' plus verfluchte Rechtschreibereform)
