Spanish term (edited):
motor duro
Selected
heavy-duty engine, heavy-duty motor
Heavy-duty: adj. intended to withstand hard use (OED).
Please remember, Spanish "motor" is usually translated into English:
- Engine in instances such as steam engine, internal combustion engine...
- Motor in instances such as electric motor, hydraulic motor...
It is not clear from the context you provide which one would be applicable.
Best wishes.

Note from asker:
| I am sorry Carlos I cannot give you more context because I was not given more context either. I was only told that all translations of "motor" should be "engine" more than what I have posted I cannot tell you, but I think that your answer could well be correct. Thank you for your help. |
