Cast iron frame housing delivers exceptional rigidity and vibration resistance, reducing bearing wear and extending service life in demanding installations. This translates into fewer unscheduled maintenance events and lower spare-part consumption. Use this motor on hoists, large pumps, and heavy conveyors where rigidity matters for precision and longevity. IP55 protection guards against dust and water ingress, enabling reliable operation in outdoors, dusty, or wash-down capable environments. This protection reduces downtime and simplifies enclosure choices without compromising performance. ICFL insulation with a 1000 m altitude tolerance supports dependable operation across varied sites while IE1 efficiency metrics at 50 Hz and 60 Hz inform energy-conscious design decisions. The 4-pole, 225 frame, and cast iron body contribute to stable torque delivery and predictable performance under continuous service. Bearings 6213-2Z/C3 and 6210-2Z/C3, along with IMB5 IM3001 classification, extend bearing life and dampen vibration, lowering maintenance costs in high-load applications. A D-End top terminator box, dual-direction rotation capability, and S1 duty readiness simplify installation, cabling, and commissioning for conveyors, pumps, and fans. With a minimum order of 1 piece and origin in China, procurement remains straightforward, while compatibility with ABB drives supports scalable automation upgrades across plant fleets.

FAQs
Mount the 225 frame motor on a compatible base, align the shaft, and connect to a drive or soft starter. Ensure the terminator box is positioned at D-End top and set the correct rotation direction for the load. Use a four-pole configuration for steady S1 duty and follow standard safety and EMC guidelines during wiring and commissioning.
Yes. The motor is IP55 protected, guarding against dust ingress and water splashes in industrial and outdoor settings. With ICFL insulation and durable bearings, it maintains performance under vibration and temperature changes. For best results, pair it with appropriate enclosure sealing and routine inspections to sustain uptime.
At 50 Hz, the motor achieves IE1 efficiency with Full Load around 91.7% and partial-load figures up to 91.9%. At 60 Hz, Full Load efficiency is approximately 93.0% with 92.8% and 91.7% at the partial-load points. These numbers support energy-conscious design while maintaining reliable torque and speed control.
Ideal for continuous-duty applications such as conveyors, pumps, and industrial fans in manufacturing environments. The 4-pole, 225 frame, and cast iron housing provide durability for heavy loads, while ABB drive compatibility enables precise speed control and energy optimization. Suitable for environments requiring robust protection (IP55) and reliable long-term operation.
The rugged cast iron frame, sealed bearings (6213-2Z/C3 and 6210-2Z/C3), and IMB5 IM3001 class contribute to a long service life with reduced bearing wear. IP55 protection reduces ingress-related maintenance, while compatibility with ABB drives simplifies automation upgrades. Together, these factors lower downtime and total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifetime.
