Cast iron frame and 280 frame size deliver high rigidity and vibration damping, reducing maintenance needs and extending MTBF for conveyors and pumping systems. The result is improved uptime and lower total cost of ownership, with installation compatibility to standard ABB interfaces enabling quicker commissioning in existing plant layouts. IP55 protection and IC411 insulation provide dust and moisture resistance, allowing reliable operation in imperfect environments and improving safety margins in outdoor or semi-enclosed spaces. A 2-pole, S1 continuous duty configuration supports steady, long-term operation in demanding production lines, while the IMB3 IM1001 mounting class simplifies alignment with common mounting standards and spare-parts availability. The Finland origin and robust cast-iron housing also contribute to predictable lifecycle costs and easier sourcing across multinational sites. This motor’s 625 kg net weight signals a proven, heavy-duty solution capable of withstanding high-load applications without frequent replacements, reducing downtime and maintenance overhead. In practice, you gain a durable, plug-and-play option that minimizes commissioning risk when upgrading legacy systems or expanding plant capacity, with ABB service networks ready to support long-term performance targets.

FAQs
This motor uses a 280 frame and a cast iron housing, enabling rigid mounting and strong vibration resistance. Ensure flange or foot-mount compatibility with existing bases, verify correct alignment with ABB interfaces, and plan for heavy weights during installation to avoid shaft misalignment or mounting stress.
It is a 2-pole, single-speed S1 motor with voltage code X, designed for continuous duty. Ambient temperature is rated at 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. Enclosure protection is IP55 and insulation class is IC411, with IMB3 IM1001 mounting compatibility.
The IP55 rating provides protection against dust ingress and water spray, making it suitable for many dusty environments. For extreme dust conditions, ensure proper enclosure planning, cooling, and regular maintenance schedules to sustain performance and prevent overheating.
Key certifications include IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting class. It is manufactured in Finland (FI), with a customs tariff number 85015381, aligning with international trade and regulatory requirements for industrial motors.
The heavy-duty cast-iron construction and robust frame reduce wear, lowering maintenance frequency and downtime. With standard ABB spare parts availability and service network, you can expect predictable maintenance costs and longer intervals between replacements, translating into lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle.
