21 - Relates to the rotor or motor length. Larger numbers means a longer motor.
1.5 - The number of turns
d - The coil configuration: d=delta/triangle. y=wye/star
f - f=finned can. No value means smooth can (no fins)

Neu's website lists all the specs for the various motors, or you could use the chart at my site to make it easier to compare against other manufacturers motors.
Thats great, why is there different coil configurations?
