German term or phrase: Schleppmoment
"[Es] wird überprüft, ob das tatsächliche Schleppmoment, dies bedeutet das aktuelle Ausgangsmoment des Leerlaufreglers, mit dem erwarteten Schleppmoment übereinstimmt. Dies ist der Fall, wenn das Ausgangssignal des Leerlaufreglers nahezu gleich einem erwarteten Wert ist." I found 'drag torque' in a dictionary; any other possibilities? What is the Schleppmoment exactly?

It didn\'t contain \'Schleppmoment\' or \'drag torque\', though.
