FAQs
For proper installation use the IMB5 mounting pattern compatible with the 280 frame. Ensure correct shaft alignment and secure coupling or belt drive. Verify enclosure protection (IP55) and provide adequate ventilation. Check weight and lifting requirements (net 645 kg, gross 665 kg) and plan for safe handling during installation and startup.
This motor is rated for S1 continuous duty, with two poles providing a steady, reliable torque profile for constant-speed applications. It operates in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and at altitudes up to 1000 m. The insulation class is ICLF, and the windings are protected to IP55, supporting dependable performance in dusty or humid plant environments.
Yes. The 2-pole, single-speed design with IP55 protection and a cast-iron frame makes it well-suited for conveyors and pumps in challenging environments. Its IMB5 mounting supports flexible installation, while its robust construction minimizes downtime and maintenance, helping you meet production targets with consistent motor performance.
The motor features IP55 protection and IC416 insulation with an IMB5 mounting Class. It is built in Finland (FI) and carries a customs tariff number of 85015381 for import compliance. These attributes support reliable operation in demanding industrial settings and simplify regulatory considerations for international projects.
The cast-iron frame and rugged construction reduce wear, while IP55 protection and robust insulation lower maintenance frequency in dusty or humid environments. Its continuous-duty capability minimizes unplanned downtime on conveyors and pumps, delivering better asset utilization and a favorable return on investment through longer service life and lower maintenance costs.
