FAQs
The motor uses a standard IMB5 IM3001 mounting arrangement and features a termination box located at the D-End top for convenient wiring. This configuration simplifies alignment with common bases and couplings, reduces cable routing complexity, and supports quick retrofits in existing lines without major frame alterations. Ensure proper shaft alignment and secure mounting to maintain seal integrity and long life.
This model operates with a 2-pole configuration in a 3-phase supply and is rated for S1 continuous duty. The voltage code is D, and it supports both 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems. For energy efficiency and regulatory alignment, IE1 efficiency is specified. Use appropriate drives and soft-start to minimize mechanical stress during startup and avoid thermal overload.
Yes, the motor is IP55 protected, offering robust dust and moisture resistance suitable for many industrial settings. It uses ICFL insulation, providing reliable performance in elevated temperatures and challenging conditions. This combination supports longer service life in factories, on outdoor lines, and in processes with exposure to dust or humidity.
Key factors include the 280 cast-iron frame for durability, 2-pole design for strong torque characteristics, and top-entry termination for easy wiring and maintenance. The 527 kg net weight indicates substantial inertia beneficial for load handling, while IP55/IP-rated protection and IE1 efficiency help protect reliability and reduce energy costs in continuous automation tasks.
The robust cast-iron frame and bearing 6316/C3 support extended bearing life and reduced maintenance. IMB5 mounting improves installation longevity with fewer alignment issues, and the D-End top box simplifies servicing. With continuous operation and solid insulation, expect predictable uptime, lower replacement frequency, and lower total cost of ownership in long-cycle automation applications.
