The 160 frame size and cast iron construction deliver rugged mechanical strength, enabling long service life in challenging environments and reducing unplanned downtime. This translates to greater production uptime and lower maintenance costs for pumps and conveyor systems, especially in high-vibration or dusty facilities. The 3-phase design with 6 poles provides balanced torque and smooth operation, supporting steady process control and predictable motor performance across common duty cycles. By meeting IE1 energy efficiency targets and integrating ICFL insulation, the motor helps lower energy consumption and thermal stress, contributing to lower operating costs and easier regulatory alignment for energy programs. IP55 protection combined with a D-End top terminator box simplifies installation and serviceability, enabling quick wiring checks and faster motor replacement in tight or elevated installations. The IMB3 IM1001 mounting class, along with 6209-2Z/C3 bearings, supports reliable alignment and reduced vibration, while the encoder-friendly frame and standard ABB interfaces improve compatibility with drives and control cabinets. Overall, the motor delivers a robust lifecycle with scalable performance for industrial automation environments and tight integration with ABB’s drive ecosystem.

FAQs
ABB 3GBA163420-ADT supports flexible mounting with a cast-iron 160 frame and a D-End top terminator box for easy wiring. It uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting with 6209-2Z/C3 bearings, and it allows rotation on both ends to accommodate limited shaft space or alternative line layouts. This makes commissioning faster and reduces spare-parts needs during installation.
At 50 Hz, the motor is IE1 rated with Full Load efficiency of 86.4%, with partial-load (75% and 50%) figures of 87.2% and 87.7% respectively. At 60 Hz, Full Load efficiency is 89.0%, with partial-load values of 88.7% (75%) and 88.3% (50%). These figures support energy savings and stable performance across common industrial operating regimes.
Yes. The motor operates under S1 duty, with IP55 enclosure, ambient temperature rating of 40 °C, and altitude up to 1000 m, making it well-suited for pumps, conveyors, and similar loads in harsh manufacturing environments. Its cast-iron frame and robust bearings enhance longevity, while compatibility with standard ABB drive systems simplifies system integration.
Key specifications include IP55 ingress protection, Insulation Class ICLF, and IE1 efficiency data for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. These features support regulatory alignment across multiple regions and ease integration into CE-ready control architectures, while maintaining reliable, energy-efficient operation in continuous-duty applications.
The M2BAX 160MLB 6 designation signals a robust, heavy-duty design with a 160-frame, cast-iron frame, and a D-End top termination box. Wear components include 6209-2Z/C3 bearings, and the IMB3 IM1001 mounting class simplifies alignment during maintenance. This designation also aids fast cross-referencing in catalogs, ensuring quick sourcing and predictably minimal downtime during replacements.
