Vario / Forte motor

# Baratza Vario / Forte Motor drive parts and ratio

## Motor
Baratza have at least 3 variants of motor used in the Vario... and 120V/230V versions of each:

* PN: 1036 / 1037 D-shaft motor
* PN: 1058? / ?? Helical shaft motor
* PN: 6026 / 6027 Hybrid shaft motor

There's also two styles of motor enclosure used:

not sure if these relate to specific part numbers above or not though, or it might be a  Mahlkonig vs Baratza difference.

Note: the Sette 270 commonly has the DCT-M-004-D motor, marked as 14000RPM (https://imgur.com/a/7DAejoU).

I suspect that one/some of these motors may be build by Johnson https://shop.johnsonelectric.com/categories/dc-voltage-motor

The Intertek label on the left motor above is the regulatory body that's certified the motor for sale.

## Vario vs Forte
Both the current Vario and Forte parts lists have the 6026/6027 as the listed motor for use - the hybrid one is supposed to be used for all current models.

However, the Forte uses a different drive ratio, it runs faster with a wider tooth belt.

Vario: 
* Motor pulley: 18 teeth
* Burr pulley: 96 teeth
Drive ratio: 5.33

Forte:
* Motor pulley: 17 teeth
* Burr pulley: 68 teeth
Drive ratio: 4.0

In Australia at least it's easy to get the Forte drive:
