A "continuous torque" application means that torque does not appreciably change with speed. In this case, speeding up to 970 rpm will not require more torque from the driving machine ... so it is still roughly 6676 Nm. What it DOES mean is that the driving machine power will increase linearly with speed (New HP / 970 = Old HP / 926).
A "variable torque" application means that there is a nonlinear relationship between power and speed. In this case, it really depends on what is being driven. Typical relationships are HP/RPM^2 and HP^2/RPM^3 ... but there are others.
