FAQs
The 180 mm frame size and IMB3 IM1001 mounting class align with standard industrial mounting footprints, making retrofits and replacements straightforward. Its cast iron frame provides rigidity that minimizes misalignment, while the D-End top termination location supports efficient wiring and service access. This compatibility reduces downtime and simplifies procurement for conveyors and pumps.
IP55 protection guards against dust ingress and moisture, while the ICFL insulation class supports elevated operating temperatures typical in harsh plants. Coupled with a 40 °C ambient rating and up to 1000 m altitude tolerance, the motor remains reliable in outdoor installations, production floors with heavy dust, and exposed equipment such as crushers and packaging lines.
Yes. It features S1 continuous duty, a 4-pole configuration, and IE1 efficiency, ensuring steady performance and energy efficiency under constant operation. The IMB3 IM1001 mounting and robust bearings further support long service life in continuous-running drives found in circulating pumps and material-handling conveyors.
The motor uses a cast iron frame with bearings 6210-2Z/C3 and 6209-2Z/C3, which are chosen for longevity and low-friction operation. This reduces lubrication frequency and bearing wear, yielding lower maintenance costs and longer intervals between service windows, benefiting total cost of ownership in manufacturing lines.
With IE1 efficiency ratings and a 4-pole design, the motor delivers reliable performance while minimizing energy consumption in continuous-duty applications. This translates to tangible energy savings on pumps and fans, faster payback in retrofit projects, and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) across automation and process-line operations.
