FAQs
The motor uses a D-End top terminator box, facilitating straightforward wiring and field service access. With a cast-iron frame size 160 and a robust bearings setup (6209-2Z/C3), it supports standard industry mounting patterns and aligns with IMB5 IM3001 installation class. Ensure ambient temperature remains at or below 40 °C and altitude under 1000 m to preserve performance. This reduces rework and accelerates commissioning in new builds or retrofits.
The motor is rated IE1 for efficiency at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, with full-load efficiencies around 89.3–89.5% and partial-load values just under that range. It carries IP55 protection, offering strong dust and water ingress resistance. Insulation class is ICLF, meeting typical industrial standards for moderate-temperature environments and contributing to reliable long-term operation in daily plant use.
Yes. The device is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor with S1 duty, designed for continuous operation. Its 2-pole configuration supports reliable speeds suitable for conveyors and pumps. The combination of robust cast iron construction, IP55 protection, and IE1 efficiency supports steady performance in continuous service with manageable maintenance and predictable downtime.
Key operating attributes include IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation class, and IE1 efficiency. The motor operates in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and up to 1000 m altitude, which informs site suitability for standard manufacturing zones. While CE marking isn’t specified in the data, the combination of protection, insulation, and efficiency aligns with common industry expectations for regulatory-ready industrial motors.
Energy savings stem from IE1 efficiency performance near 89% at full load, reducing electricity consumption in continuous-duty applications. The rugged cast-iron frame and long-bearing life (6209-2Z/C3) lower maintenance costs and downtime. The D-End top terminal box accelerates installation and service, shortening commissioning time and facilitating quicker payback in retrofits of conveyors, fans, and pumps.
