FP ok to stall?

[Ether]

As a general rule of thumb, unless the datasheet or other documentation says otherwise, most DC motors are designed for continuous operation at about 20% of rated stall torque (aka 20% rated stall current). Operation at higher torques (currents) is allowed, but only intermittently. Ambient temperature, heat sinking, and forced airflow affects the allowable length of the intermittent period.
