Feature to benefit mapping drives business value in real-world use. The M3BC 280SMA 2 design uses a robust cast iron frame to withstand vibration and heavy loads, reducing unplanned downtime and extending motor life in demanding environments. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and improved line throughput for automated systems and packaging lines. IP55 protection plus IC416 insulation provide resilience against dust, water ingress, and elevated ambient temperatures, helping you meet safety standards and maintain performance in production environments. The IMB3 IM1001 class rating confirms suitability for continuous operation (S1) in factories up to 1000 m altitude and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, enabling consistent torque delivery in conveyors, pumps, and fans. With a 280 frame, 2-pole design and a 1-piece minimum order, installation is straightforward and stock-ready from Shanghai, ensuring quick project ramp-up. The product’s origin mix (Finland/China) supports diversified sourcing and risk mitigation, while its defined product name and designation minimize configuration errors during procurement. This motor is well-suited for standard 3-phase electrical systems and can be integrated into controlled environments with conventional VFDs without requiring extensive retrofits, making it a practical choice for industrial operators seeking reliable, high-availability motor solutions. In summary, ABB’s 3GBC281214-AXG delivers proven reliability, installation ease, and predictable performance for long-term automation success.
