Feature IE4 energy efficiency with 22 kW output at 400 V 50 Hz delivers lower energy consumption and faster payback in continuous-duty lines. Business impact This reduces operating costs, improves line throughput, and enhances sustainability in conveyors and pumps across manufacturing environments. Application Suitable for process and packaging lines where consistent performance under variable loads is required. Feature IP55 protection and IC411 insulation in a cast-iron frame 180 with IMB5/IM3001 mounting provide rugged reliability. Business impact Extends service intervals, reduces unplanned downtime, and supports compliant operation in dusty or damp plants. Application Ideal for metalworking, plastics, and food-and-beverage packaging lines where harsh conditions are routine. Feature D connection configuration and rotation on both sides simplify installation and retrofit projects. Business impact Cuts commissioning time, lowers wiring errors, and enables flexible layouts in existing systems. Application Retrofit projects and new builds that rely on standard drive packages. Feature 4-pole design, 400 V, 50 Hz operation with IP55 and 1000 m altitude capability ensures stable performance across a broad operating envelope. Business impact Delivers predictable torque and speed control, supporting heavy-load conveyors and pumps while maintaining efficiency. Application Heavy-duty material handling, stamping presses, and packaging lines. Feature 6310-2Z/C3 bearings, 205 kg net weight, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and 180 frame size offer robust mechanical compatibility. Business impact Reduces spare parts inventory and eases installation in tight spaces. Application Panel-mounted or floor-standing installations in shared plant rooms.

FAQs
When retrofitting, ensure the IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility is confirmed and the D connection configuration is correctly wired for a 400 V, 50 Hz supply. Verify space for a 180 frame with a 729 mm length and 340 mm width, and accommodate a 205 kg motor in the installation layout. Finally, confirm IP55 protection and four-pole operation align with the environment and drive system.
The motor achieves IE4 efficiency with measured values of 94.5% at full load (100%), 94.6% at 75% load, and 94.0% at 50% load. This performance translates to lower energy consumption across varied operating points, improving total cost of ownership for continuous processes such as conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing lines.
Yes. Its 22 kW output, 400 V 50 Hz supply, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation make it ideal for demanding conveyor and pump duties. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting and D connection support easy integration with standard drive packages, while the IE4 efficiency helps sustain throughput with reduced energy costs on packaging lines and similar applications.
The motor carries IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, with a cast-iron frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. This combination supports safe operation in dusty and damp environments, aligns with industry practice for heavy-duty industrial motors, and helps meet typical CE and safety requirements for industrial automation projects.
Expected ROI is driven by IE4 efficiency, which reduces energy costs, and by reliable IP55/IP-rated protection that lowers maintenance frequency. The robust bearings and cast-iron frame extend service life, decreasing spare-part usage and downtime. In Europe, stock availability (Menden, Germany) helps minimize maintenance lead times and sustain uptime.
