IP55 enclosure paired with a rugged cast iron frame provides reliable protection against dust, moisture, and physical impact, reducing unplanned downtime and panel ingress. In practice, this translates to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs on busy production lines. Industrial applications include conveyors, packaging lines, and process pumps where exposure to harsh shop floor conditions is common. With a 280 frame and a two-pole design, the motor delivers strong starting torque in a compact footprint, suiting space-constrained drives without sacrificing performance. The motor’s efficiency supports lower energy costs over the lifecycle in continuous operation scenarios. Operating up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient means stable performance in elevated or hot facilities, reducing derating risk and ensuring consistent speed control. Insulation classified as IC416 and IMB3 mounting ensure reliability under electrical and mechanical stress; combined with IMB3 IM1001 compatibility, installation is straightforward. Stocked at Shanghai with a minimum order of 1 piece and rapid CN/FI-sourced procurement, this model supports lean purchasing while ensuring reliable supply for automation projects. The robust cast iron frame and standard 280-frame compatibility also simplify retrofits and OEM integration, contributing to reduced downtime and extended equipment life.

FAQs
ABB 3GBC281223-AXG uses a 280 frame with IMB3 mounting; ensure compatibility with your base plate and shaft alignment. It is a 2-pole, 3-phase motor designed for S1 duty and a standard footprint. The IP55 enclosure requires proper sealing and cable entry; use shielded cables and appropriate glands. Confirm voltage code X and a solid grounding strategy, and provide adequate cooling access for maintenance.
Key specs include a 3-phase squirrel cage configuration, 2-pole design, frame size 280, IP55 protection, altitude capability up to 1000 m, ambient operating temperature up to 40 °C, and IC416 insulation with IMB3 mounting. It is designed for S1 duty, ensuring continuous, steady operation in demanding automation environments.
Yes. The 2-pole design delivers solid starting torque on space-constrained drives, making it suitable for conveyors, pumps, and other material-handling equipment in automated lines. Its cast iron frame provides durability in busy plants, and the IP55 enclosure helps protect windings in dusty or humid areas, supporting reliable operation over long cycles.
The motor features IP55 ingress protection and IC416 insulation with IMB3 mounting (IMB3 IM1001). These specifications support reliability in harsh environments and ease of installation on standard 280-frame systems. While CE labeling is not listed in the provided data, the IP rating and insulation class are key compliance indicators for industrial drives.
The cast iron frame, IP55 protection, and robust insulation contribute to a long service life with lower maintenance demands and reduced downtime. Availability in Shanghai and a low minimum order quantity of 1 piece enable lean procurement and faster project timelines, translating to lower inventory risk and quicker ROI for automation projects.
