Energy efficiency and IE4 class efficiency directly reduce operating costs, delivering measurable energy savings on continuous duty applications such as pumps and fans while extending bearing life through a robust cast iron frame. The business impact is lower total cost of ownership and improved plant profitability, with reliable performance in standard 400 V, 50 Hz circuits. The motor’s IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation expose it to dusty or humid environments with minimal maintenance, ensuring uptime in conveyors and material handling lines. Compatibility with IMB5/IM3001 mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations, reducing commissioning time and risk on crowded equipment racks. The D connection configuration enables straightforward wiring, easing electrical design and reducing field errors during installation. In practice, engineers gain predictable lead times (stocked at Menden) and a rugged solution that performs consistently in temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m. This makes the unit well-suited for industrial automation ecosystems that prize reliability and performance.

FAQs
This motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a D connection configuration, designed for straightforward installation on standard IEC frames. It is a 2-pole, 18.5 kW unit rated for 400 V at 50 Hz, with a 160 frame size and IP55 protection. The design supports quick retrofits and aligns with common plant switchgear and starter configurations, reducing commissioning time and wiring errors.
IE4 efficiency translates to lower input current for the same mechanical output, reducing energy bills over the motor’s life. At 50 Hz, the full-load efficiency is 93.7%, with 94.1% at 75% load and 94.0% at 50% load, helping plants meet energy targets and reduce cooling requirements. This minimizes heat generation in cabinets and surrounding equipment, extending component life.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and water jets, ideal for dusty or humid manufacturing floors. The cast iron frame (size 160) and IC411 insulation withstand ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes to 1000 m, delivering reliable operation in challenging environments and reducing unplanned downtime.
The motor complies with CE marking and features IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and IE4 efficiency. It supports standard S1 duty and is compatible with IEC-based electrical and mechanical interfaces. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance, operator safety, and integration with European automation installations.
Maintenance needs are minimized by a rugged cast iron frame, sealed bearings (6309-2Z/C3), and robust IMB5/IM3001 mounting, reducing lubrication and bearing replacement frequency. The higher IE4 efficiency lowers energy costs, improving return on investment. Coupled with reliable performance in IP55 environments, downtime is minimized, supporting long-term plant productivity and predictable lifecycle costs.
