German term or phrase: entstehen so große Durchlicht-Durchmesser
Prinzipiell besteht der Antrieb aus drei in Stern bzw. Dreieck geschalteten Spulensystemen, die mit Hilfe des Umrichters ein magnetisches Drehfeld im Motor erzeugen.

Der Stator (Primärteil) ist mit einer normalen 3-Phasen-Drehstromwicklung versehen, während der Rotor (Sekundärelement) als Polrad unter Verwendung von Permanentmagneten ausgebildet ist.
Um den Anwendungsbereich dieser Antriebe zu erweitern, werden die Rotoren auch als Ringe ausgelegt. Der Ringrotor wird durch ein oder mehrere entsprechende Lager zum Stator zentriert, dass der Luftspalt möglichst klein ist. Bautechnisch bedingt entstehen so große Durchlicht-Durchmesser für weitere Applikationen.

I'm puzzled by the reference to transmitted light here. The preceding sentence talks about keeping the air gap as small as possible to keep the annular motor centered against the stator...then Durchlicht?

English translation:clearance diameter
Explanation:
Due to the design, extensive clearance diameters are created for additional applications.

I have seen clearance for Durchlicht, though I can't vouch for its accuracy in your example.

inside diameters


Explanation:
I'm grasping at a straw here. My physics reference translates "lichter Durchmesser" as inside diameter.
I realize that Durchlicht Durchmesser may be completely different, but . . for what it's worth.

big diameter gaps are created


Explanation:
In my oppinion, they are not actually talking about "light". Durchlicht may also be a synonimous of Luftspalt.

What they mean is that you can exchange the rings for rotors when necessary.

I dont have much technical experience in this field, just wanted to give you an idea.

Good Luck!
