FAQs
When retrofitting or installing this motor into a 160 frame system, verify shaft alignment, mounting hole pattern, and flange compatibility. Ensure the terminator box is accessible at D-End top, and confirm the connection wiring matches the motor’s wiring diagram. For quick commissioning, leverage the cast-iron frame’s rigidity to minimize vibration and use appropriate fasteners per IEC standards.
At 50 Hz, the motor achieves IE1 full-load efficiency around 89.3%, while at 60 Hz it reaches roughly 89.5% under full-load conditions. These efficiencies translate to measurable energy savings over long duty cycles and help reduce operating costs, especially in continuous conveyors or pumps. Cross-check with VFD compatibility to optimize torque and speed profiles without compromising efficiency.
Yes. The motor is IP55-rated with IC411 insulation and a rugged cast-iron frame, designed to withstand dust and heat typical of conveyor applications. Its 2-pole configuration provides strong low-speed torque, while the enclosure and insulation support reliable operation under continuous load. For best results, ensure proper filtration and periodic bearing checks to maintain performance over time.
Key compliance indicators include IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation, along with a cast-iron frame for structural integrity. The unit is designed to support CE-type electrical safety expectations and environmental considerations, with WEEE classification for end-of-life disposal. Always confirm local regulatory markings with the supplier and ensure installation follows regional electrical codes.
Implement a structured maintenance plan focusing on bearing inspection (6209-2Z/C3), lubrication intervals, and alignment checks to prevent premature wear. Use IE1-rated operation to optimize energy consumption, especially on long-running lines. The motor’s robust enclosure reduces downtime, while the D-End top termination offers straightforward wiring and faster servicing, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the asset’s life.
