Feature IP55 protection, ICFL insulation, and a cast iron frame deliver rugged durability in dusty, high-humidity environments. Business Impact reduces dust ingress and moisture-related failures, extending bearing life and lowering downtime; ideal for conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing and packaging lines. Application use case includes harsh factory floors where washdown or fine dust is common. Feature 160 mm frame with a 124 kg net/134 kg gross weight and 6209-2Z/C3 bearings provides solid mechanical robustness and straightforward compatibility with standard couplings and belts. Business Impact translates to easier maintenance, fewer unplanned stops, and reliable coupling to gearboxes; application in heavy equipment where stability and precision matter. Feature Two-pole, S1 duty, with reversible rotation simplifies installation in tight layouts and supports flexible line design. Application spans single-shift and continuous operation in material handling and process cooling systems. Feature Cast Iron frame and IMB5 IM3001 mounting gear support rigid alignment and vibration control, improving energy transmission and reducing bearing wear. Business Impact yields longer belt and pulley life and better overall machine efficiency; suitable for pumps, fans, and conveyors. Feature Ambient temperature up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m ensures dependable operation in typical industrial sites; business impact includes predictable performance across regions and seasons. Application includes factories with moderate altitude and climate variation. Feature Customs tariff 85015230 and China origin simplify procurement and import compliance for global supply chains; business impact is faster procurement cycles and streamlined stocking. Application in multinational assembly lines with standardized components. The motor’s IE1 efficiency data at 50 Hz and 60 Hz (Full Load 89.3–89.5%) supports energy-conscious operation and lower operating costs over the lifecycle; suitable for budgeting and ROI planning in production environments.

FAQs
For reliable mounting, follow IMB5 mounting guidelines and mount on a solid base with proper alignment to the shaft. Use a compatible 160 mm frame and verify Terminator Box Location (D-End top) during retrofits. Ensure the drive coupling is aligned, check shaft end play, and confirm that the motor orientation matches the intended rotation direction. The 6209-2Z/C3 bearings should be inspected and lubricated per maintenance schedules to sustain smooth operation in IMB5 configurations.
At 50 Hz, the motor demonstrates IE1 efficiency with Full Load around 89.3% and partial-load values near 89.5% at 75% and 88.6% at 50% load. At 60 Hz, Full Load is about 89.5%, with 75% and 50% loads around 88.8% and 87.3% respectively. These figures support predictable energy usage and stable torque characteristics for conveyors, pumps, and fans in standard industrial duties.
Yes. The motor features IP55 protection, guarding against dust ingress and water exposure, and ICFL insulation suitable for demanding operating conditions. Combined with a cast iron frame and 2-pole S1 duty, the unit is designed for continuous operation in challenging factories, with reliable electrical insulation and protective enclosures to support long service life.
Follow standard bearing maintenance for 6209-2Z/C3 units: inspect seals for wear, verify lubrication intervals, and monitor vibration levels to detect misalignment early. Use appropriate grease and ensure correct bearing preload. Regular checks will extend bearing life, minimize unplanned downtime, and sustain smooth torque transmission in conveyors and pump drives connected to the 160 mm frame.
The ROI benefits come from reduced downtime due to IP55 protection and IMB5 mounting compatibility, longer bearing life with robust cast iron construction, and predictable energy use under IE1 performance. Lower maintenance costs, easier procurement (China origin, tariff 85015230), and compatibility with standard ABB drives further reduce total cost of ownership and improve throughput in continuous and batch processes.
