Robust 280 frame with a cast-iron enclosure provides superior stiffness and vibration damping, which reduces bearing wear and extends service life; this translates to lower maintenance costs and longer intervals between servicing in conveyor or pump applications. IP55 protection and IC416 insulation offer reliable operation in dusty or moist environments, guarding windings against ingress and thermal stress and enabling longer run times with minimal performance loss in facilities at 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude. The 2-pole, S1 duty design delivers strong starting torque and steady operation for continuous processes, supporting dependable production throughput in fans, material handling, and packaging lines. The IMB5 IM3001 mounting scheme ensures compatibility with common bases and ABB or third-party drives, simplifying retrofits and scalable automation. Weight and handling considerations are accounted for by a robust cast-iron build and a high-torque profile well-suited for demanding industrial tasks.

FAQs
The ABB M3BC 280SMB 2 uses a 280 frame with a cast-iron enclosure and IMB5 IM3001 mounting class, aligning with common 280 frame motors and compatible with standard ABB and third-party drives. This simplifies retrofit projects and reduces custom mounting requirements, accelerating installation and minimizing downtime.
Key characteristics include IP55 ingress protection, IC416 insulation, ambient operating temperature up to 40 °C, and altitude up to 1000 m. It is a 2-pole, 3-phase motor designed for S1 (continuous) duty. Specific voltages and electrical data are not provided in the datasheet excerpt, so verify exact electrical ratings in the official ABB catalog for your region.
Yes. The IP55 protection, rugged cast-iron frame, and 2-pole continuous-duty design make it well-suited for conveyors, pumps, and material-handling equipment in dusty or humid environments. The IMB5 IM3001 mounting, combined with reliable maintenance intervals, supports steady throughput and reduced downtime in demanding facilities.
The model features IP55 protection and IC416 insulation, along with IMB5 IM3001 mounting guidance. WEEE categorization (4. Large Equipment) is noted for environmental handling. While not all regions list CE in this data, confirm regional regulatory certifications with your ABB distributor to ensure compliance for your location and application.
Minimum order quantity is 1 piece with no made-to-order requirement, supporting quick procurement. Its heavy-duty construction and high durability translate to lower maintenance costs and longer service intervals, improving total cost of ownership. We recommend pairing with ABB-approved drives to optimize energy efficiency and drive performance in continuous processes.
