FAQs
Yes. The motor uses a standard IMB5 IM3001 mounting class and is designed for top-entry D-End termination, enabling straightforward installation on common bases and frames found in conveyors, pumps, and fans across factory floors. Verify footprint and bolt pattern to ensure seamless retrofit or new-install compatibility.
Key electrical specs include a 3-phase design with 6 poles (high), IE1 efficiency data at 50 Hz and 60 Hz, and a voltage code D. The IP55 rating provides dust and water ingress protection, while the insulation class ICLF supports reliable operation in warm environments up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude.
Yes. The product is rated for S1 duty (continuous operation), ensuring uninterrupted torque delivery under steady-state loads. Combined with IE1 efficiency and robust mechanical design, it suits conveyors, pumps, and fans that run across long shifts with consistent performance.
The motor features IP55 protection and ICFL insulation, aligned with common industrial protection and insulation standards. Its 6-pole, IMB5 IM3001 configuration supports reliable service in standard factory environments, with energy efficiency validated by IE1 data across 50 Hz and 60 Hz.
Expect reduced maintenance due to the cast-iron frame, robust bearing set (6209-2Z/C3), and IP55 protection that minimizes ingress-related wear. IE1 efficiency lowers operating costs, while the top-entry termination and standard mounting simplify installation and future spare-parts forecasting, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.
