I think this has to do with the inside of the motor being hotter than the outside (obviously the inside would be hotter), as well as the friction from the bearing causing greater heat buildup. Recently I saw that the back of the motor was about 10 deg. hotter than the can, but this was on the endbell (I have tape over the shaft to protect the bearing).
