Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE4 efficiency delivers measurable energy savings over lifecycle costs, reducing operating expenses for continuous-motion applications such as pumps and fans. This aligns with sustainability targets and lowers CO2 footprint in manufacturing lines. Application: large-site pumping systems and process lines seeking lower energy consumption without sacrificing torque. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast Iron frame provides superior rigidity and vibration damping, improving reliability in demanding environments. Result is reduced unscheduled downtime and lower maintenance frequency in packaging and material-handling lines. Application: heavy-duty conveyors and mixers operating in factory floors with frequent start/stop cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 enclosure plus IC4/ICLF insulation delivers robust protection against dust, moisture, and heat, extending service intervals in humid or dusty plants. Application: outdoor installations or wash-down areas in food & beverage and chemical plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies integration with existing bases and frames, shortening installation time and lowering field engineering costs. Application: retrofits or new machine builds using standard mounting footprints in metalworking and packaging lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 400 V, 50 Hz operation with a 2-pole design provides strong starting torque and efficient running, enabling reliable drive control for fans, pumps, and conveyors. Application: HVAC systems and process equipment where consistent speed control is critical for product quality. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE4 with 11 kW power rating supports high-load operations while maintaining low heat generation, improving compressor and pump efficiency. Application: integrated motor drives in assembly lines and robotics supporting energy optimization initiatives. Additional Insight: The combination of 134 kg net weight and 626.5 mm length aids long-life bearings like 6309-2Z/C3, enabling predictable maintenance cycles and extended intervals between bearing replacements, a common cost driver in modernization projects. This motor pairs well with ABB’s service ecosystem for uptime, spare parts, and retrofits, ensuring a solid total cost of ownership (TCO) advantage for industrial automation projects.

FAQs
ABB 3GBA161410-BDN supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting, which simplifies integration with standard base plates and existing machines. When planning installation, ensure correct alignment, verify frame size 160, and allow for 626.5 mm depth clearance plus 413 mm height. Use appropriate foot mounting hardware and verify torque settings on mounting flanges to minimize vibration and wear. This minimizes commissioning time and reduces rework in retrofit projects.
IE4 efficiency reduces I2R losses compared with lower efficiency classes, yielding noticeable energy savings at design and part-load conditions. For an 11 kW motor operating at 400 V, this translates to lower active power demand during steady-state running and modest gains at partial loads. Over a typical lifecycle, electricity bill reductions and improved system COP (coefficient of performance) contribute to a favorable total cost of ownership.
Yes. The M2BAX-based design supports continuous operation in S1 duty, with an IP55 protection level and IC411 insulation suitable for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and elevations up to 1000 m. The combination of cast iron construction, robust bearings (6309-2Z/C3), and IMB5/IM3001 mounting ensures reliability in demanding processes, including pumps and conveyors in manufacturing settings.
The motor features IE4 efficiency, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation, along with IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility. It uses a 2-pole configuration for 400 V 50 Hz operation and carries a cast iron frame (Frame 160) with bearings 6309-2Z/C3. These protections support operation in dusty, humid, or wash-down areas typical of heavy industry, HVAC, and material handling.
Low maintenance impact comes from the robust cast-iron frame, durable bearings, and IP55 protection, which reduce downtime in harsh environments. The IE4 efficiency lowers energy costs, improving ROI over the motor’s life. Routine checks on bearings, lubrication per OEM guidance, and periodic alignment verification help sustain optimal performance and extend service intervals in modernization projects.
