FAQs
This motor uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting class with a 280 frame, aligning with standard IEC mounting practices. It simplifies enclosure compatibility and spare parts logistics, enabling straightforward retrofits in pump, fan, and conveyor assemblies while maintaining vibration control and alignment with common shaft fits.
IP55 protects the motor from dust ingress and water spray, while IC411 insulation supports continuous, high-temperature operation. Together they minimize insulation breakdown risks and misoperation in harsh facilities, improving uptime in material handling, mining-support, and process automation equipment.
Yes. The motor is designed for S1 duty, meaning continuous operation at a steady load. With a 2-pole design, it delivers reliable starting torque and steady running efficiency, reducing drive system wear and energy consumption in conveyors, pumps, and cooling fans.
Key certifications and standards include IP55 protection, IC411 insulation class, and insulation class ICLF. The unit is built for rugged industrial environments, supports safe operation in dusty or humid plants, and aligns with global manufacturing and procurement expectations for electrical motors.
The combination of robust frame, IP55/IC411-ICLF protection, and 2-pole efficiency translates to reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and longer service intervals. While upfront costs may be higher, predictable performance and easier spares management yield a favorable total cost of ownership in automated lines and critical process equipment.
