Feature → Business Impact → Application: The IE4 efficiency rating delivers tangible energy savings across full-load operations, reducing operating costs for pumps, fans, and conveyors in continuous-duty environments. This directly translates to lower utility bills and a smaller plant carbon footprint while maintaining consistent torque at 100% load in demanding manufacturing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 protection combined with IC411 insulation ensures reliable operation in dusty or moist facilities and in outdoor enclosures, minimizing unscheduled downtime and maintenance. This is ideal for outdoor fans, material handling conveyors, and process equipment where environmental exposure is common. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast iron frame and a robust 160 frame size with 6309-2Z/C3 bearings provide durability under heavy loads, reducing bearing wear and extending service intervals; suitable for packaging lines, metalworking, and chemical processing where vibration and stress are routine. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 4-pole high-torque design supports S1 duty in continuous operation, enabling stable speeds in pumps and agitators; the motor’s IMB3 IM1001 class supports reliable installation in plant automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Termination box located at D-end top simplifies wiring and field maintenance, improving installation times and serviceability in constrained spaces on conveyors, mixers, and fans. Insight: Customers benefit from compatibility with existing ABB control ecosystems, and the combination of standard frame size and mounting patterns reduces spare-part diversity and inventory costs.

FAQs
Plan for a 160 frame mounting with a cast-iron construction and the D-End top termination box.Connect to standard ABB drives using the M2BAF designation as a reference, and verify alignment with IMB3 IM1001 bearing class. Ensure ambient conditions stay within 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, and accommodate the 4-pole, 3-phase configuration for smooth commissioning.
Expect excellent energy efficiency at full load (IE4) with reliable protection (IP55) in harsh environments. The 4-pole design provides stable torque and speed, while IC411 insulation supports long-term thermal resilience. In pumps and conveyors, this translates to reduced energy bills, lower maintenance frequency, and consistent process performance even under dust or moisture exposure.
Yes. The motor’s rugged cast-iron frame, IP55 ingress protection, and IP-rated enclosure make it suitable for outdoor or dirty facilities. The 4-pole design supports continuous-duty (S1) operation, and its documented altitude and ambient limits help ensure dependable performance in diverse industrial settings such as packaging lines, HVAC fans, and material handling conveyors.
The unit conforms to IC411 insulation class and IE4 energy efficiency, with IP55 protection for dust and water ingress resistance. The product designation includes M2BAF 160MLB 4, and the assembly is designed for continuous-duty service. While regional CE or other certifications may be pursued, the listed protections and efficiency class address common regulatory and reliability expectations for industrial motors.
The IE4 efficiency rating reduces energy consumption, offering measurable ROI on utility costs. Combined with robust bearings (6309-2Z/C3) and a durable cast-iron frame, maintenance intervals extend and bearing wear is minimized. The motor’s standardized frame and compatibility with ABB drives simplify spare parts planning and diagnostics, supporting lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle.
