FAQs
The M3BC 280SMB 2 is designed for base-mounted, foot-mounted installations using the IMB5 IM3001 mounting class on a 280 frame. It supports standard three-phase power with voltage code X and a cast iron housing, enabling straightforward alignment with common conveyor, pump, and fan drives. Ensure proper shaft alignment, protective guarding, and compliant lifting gear due to the motor’s 665 kg net weight.
This is a two-pole, 3-phase induction motor intended for S1 continuous duty. It features a 280 frame size with a cast iron housing and IP55 protection, insulated to IC411 standards. The motor is built for high reliability in demanding environments, with a 40 °C ambient limit and operation up to 1000 m altitude. It is a single-speed motor suitable for fixed-speed process applications.
Yes. The combination of IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and IMB5 mounting makes it well suited for pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors in dusty, humid, or hot plants. The cast iron frame provides durability under continuous load, and the S1 duty rating supports long, uninterrupted operation in process lines and material handling setups.
The motor offers IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation, ensuring reliability in challenging environments. It uses a robust IMB5 IM3001 mounting class and a cast iron frame for durability. The unit is designed for continuous S1 duty and is suitable for high-demand industrial applications in sectors such as manufacturing, mining, and processing, while complying with heavy equipment category requirements per WEEE guidelines.
With a cast iron housing, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation, the motor delivers long service intervals and reduced maintenance caused by environmental stress.
