Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast iron frame and 160 frame size provide exceptional rigidity and damping, translating to longer bearing life and reduced vibration-related wear in conveyors and pumps. This supports lower maintenance costs and higher line uptime in continuous production environments. Feature → Application compatibility → Used with standard VFDs and a reversible rotation design helps optimize line layout and upgrade paths for mixed-process lines, reducing retrofit risk and shortening installation time. Feature → IE1 efficiency at 50 Hz and 60 Hz (Full Load up to 86% depending on frequency) delivers measurable energy savings across steady-state operations, lowering operating costs for process cooling and pumping applications. Feature → IP55 protection and 40 °C ambient rating ensure reliable performance in dusty or humid facilities, while 1000 m altitude tolerance broadens field deployment for multi-site plants. Feature → 6 poles (high) and S1 duty class support steady, continuous operation in heavy-duty drives such as conveyors and centrifuge pumps, with predictable torque delivery. Feature → IMB3 IM1001 mounting and D-End top terminal box simplify installation, serviceability, and cable management, reducing downtime during routine maintenance and upgrades.

FAQs
This motor uses a 160 frame with a cast iron housing and IMB3 IM1001 mounting. The terminal box is located at the D-End top, and it uses Voltage Code D for 3-phase supply. Compatible with common VFDs, ensure input voltage matches the catalog specifications and confirm the 6-pole, S1 duty configuration for continuous operation in your conveyor, pump, or fan system.
The motor is rated IE1 efficiency. At 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is 84.7%, while at 60 Hz it reaches 86.0%. Partial-load figures are 75% and 50% loading points around 85% and 84.1–85.1% respectively, providing energy savings in steady-state operation and helping lower running costs in continuous duty applications.
Yes. It carries an IP55 ingress protection rating, supports ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, and is rated for operation up to 1000 m altitude. This makes it well-suited for dusty, humid, or dusty-humid environments typical of manufacturing floors and processing plants, while maintaining performance and reliability.
Best used for continuous-duty drives such as conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing and process automation. The 6-pole, 160-frame, cast iron construction, and robust bearings support long service life in demanding line equipment, with easy integration into existing ABB or non-ABB drive ecosystems.
The motor employs 6209-2Z/C3 bearings within a cast iron frame. With IMB3 IM1001 mounting and a D-End top terminal box, maintenance access is straightforward, enabling regular lubrication and inspection during scheduled downtime. Bearing life is enhanced by rugged construction and appropriate IP55 protection, helping to minimize unexpected failures and extend service intervals.
