FAQs
Key installation considerations include a cast iron frame size 160 for rigidity, bearings type 6209-2Z/C3, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting Class. The terminator box is located on the D-End top, and rotation is available on both sides, facilitating flexible wiring and orientation. Ensure ambient temperature stays within 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m to maintain rated performance.
This is a 3-phase, 4-pole motor with a 4-pole configuration and a duty class of S1 for continuous operation. Voltage code is S and the insulation class is ICLF. IP rating is IP55, and IE1 efficiency is specified for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, with Full Load efficiency around 87.6% at 50 Hz and 88.5% at 60 Hz.
Yes. The motor features IP55 enclosure protection and IC411 insulation class, designed to withstand dust, moisture, and elevated ambient temperatures. With a 1000 m altitude rating and 40 °C ambient temperature capability, it is well-suited for rugged plants, conveyors, and process lines requiring reliable uptime.
IE1 efficiency delivers energy savings during long-running operations such as pumps and fans, reducing running power consumption. At 50 Hz the Full Load efficiency is about 87.6% and at 60 Hz about 88.5%, contributing to lower electricity costs and extended motor life through reduced thermal stress. This translates into lower lifecycle costs and faster payback in automation projects.
Plan for standard maintenance intervals on the 6209-2Z/C3 bearings and periodic checks aligned with IMB3 IM1001 mounting. The 1-piece orderability simplifies stocking, while the D-End top terminator box and reversible rotation support flexible retrofits. Ensure spare bearings and seals are available and align maintenance schedules with typical plant runtimes to maximize uptime.
