FAQs
This motor uses an IMB5/IM3001 mounting arrangement and a D-connection configuration. Plan for the 160 frame size, 2-pole design, 400 V supply at 50 Hz, and IP55 protection. Ensure adequate space for the cast-iron housing, proper bearing access (6309-2Z/C3, 6209-2Z/C3), and alignment with compatible drives for straightforward commissioning.
IE4 efficiency translates to substantially lower energy consumption at full load (18.5 kW). At 100% load, expect efficiency around 93.7% at 50 Hz, with even higher efficiency under partial-load operation. Over a typical manufacturing day, this reduces energy usage, aligns with regulatory targets, and lowers operating expenses.
Yes. IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress in challenging environments, while IMB5 mounting supports robust alignment and mechanical stability. This makes the motor a reliable choice for conveyors, pumps, and process equipment in plants with exposure to dust, moisture, or temperature variability up to 40 °C.
The motor features IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a D-type connection, designed for 400 V, 50 Hz, three-phase operation. The frame is 160 with a 2-pole configuration, providing reliable torque for start-up and acceleration. This compatibility streamlines integration with common motor drives and standardized plant electrical architecture.
Bearing arrangements include 6309-2Z/C3 and 6209-2Z/C3 for durability under continuous duty (S1). Insulation class ICF supports thermal stability under higher ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. Regular inspection of bearings, lubrication checks per OEM recommendations, and monitoring for IP55 integrity will help sustain long service life and uptime.
