The motor’s IE4 energy efficiency translates to meaningful operating cost reductions, especially in on-load cycles typical of pumps and fans used in manufacturing. This efficiency is coupled with a robust IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation, meaning the unit operates reliably in dusty, damp environments and under elevated ambient temperatures. The cast iron frame size 160 delivers superior rigidity and vibration damping, reducing bearing wear and downtime on heavy-duty conveyors. A 2-pole, S1 continuous duty design supports predictable, steady performance for process lines, while the D-End top terminator box simplifies wiring and service access during installation. Reversible rotation and durable bearings (6309-2Z/C3 and 6209-2Z/C3) extend service life in demanding applications.

FAQs
Plan for a 160 frame, cast iron construction with a D-End top terminator box for easy wiring. Ensure mounting aligns with a 2-pole, S1 duty motor and that the surrounding environment does not exceed 40 °C ambient or 1000 m altitude. Verify IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, and maintain correct balance during installation to minimize startup torque and vibration.
IE4 efficiency is indicated by high full-load and partial-load percentages (93.3% at full load, 93.6% at 75% load, 93.3% at 50%), reducing energy consumption. IP55 provides protection against dust ingress and water jets. Combined with IC411 insulation and a robust 2-pole design, this supports reliable operation in demanding environments while meeting modern efficiency standards.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure and cast iron frame provide rugged protection against dust and moisture, while the 2-pole, S1 continuous duty configuration supports steady, long-life operation on conveyors. The motor’s 40 °C ambient limit and 1000 m altitude suitability further enable installation in challenging factory floors and processing lines.
Key technical standards include IE4 energy efficiency, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation class. The data also notes a robust IM class (IMB5 IM3001) and a cast iron frame with a size 160, plus dual bearings (6309-2Z/C3 and 6209-2Z/C3). These aspects collectively support compliance with energy and reliability expectations in industrial settings.
The IE4 efficiency reduces energy costs over the motor’s life, while the rugged cast iron frame and high-quality bearings extend service intervals and minimize unplanned downtime. Easy wiring and a top-termination box simplify maintenance, and the IP55/IC411 design helps sustain performance in dusty or damp environments, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.
