FAQs
The motor uses a 280 frame with a cast-iron body and mounting class IMB5 IM3001, making retrofits straightforward and reducing mounting fabrication time. Ensure correct alignment with ABB drives and observe the 745 kg weight for rigging. With a 1 piece MOQ, plan procurement to minimize downtime during installation.
IP55 protects against dust and water jets, limiting ingress in dusty production lines and outdoor installations. IC416 winding insulation, combined with ICLF, provides thermal and electrical resilience, supporting operation in 40 °C ambient conditions and up to 1000 m altitude, which translates to longer motor life in challenging environments.
Yes. The product is specified for S1 duty, indicating continuous operation with stable torque and minimal downtime. Its 2-pole design delivers consistent performance for line-driven processes, while its robust frame and protective features support long service life in demanding applications such as conveyors and pumps.
Key certifications and standards include IP55 protection, insulation class IC416 with ICLF insulation, and a 2-pole design suitable for S1 duty. The unit’s origin is Finland (FI), and it carries a customs tariff number 85015381 for regulatory compliance and traceability in international procurement.
The motor’s rugged cast-iron frame, IP55 protection, and IC416/ICLF insulation translate to higher uptime and lower maintenance in harsh environments. Continuous S1 operation reduces process interruptions, while compatibility with ABB drives simplifies integration and retrofit projects, delivering lower lifecycle costs through longer intervals between maintenance and easier spare-parts planning.
