FAQs
For installation, plan for a heavy, floor-mounted footprint compatible with a 280 frame and Cast Iron housing. Ensure mounting supports IMB3 IM1001 classifications and space for 745 kg net weight. Ensure the drive system is compatible with S1 duty operation and that ambient conditions do not exceed 40 °C or altitude limits around 1000 m. Use correct cable routes and protective measures for IP55 protection.
This is a 3-phase, single-speed, 2-pole motor designed for continuous operation (S1 duty). It features IP55 enclosure protection and IC416 insulation, suitable for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. The product uses a frame 280 with a cast-iron construction, reinforcing durability in demanding environments.
Yes. The 2-pole S1-rated ABB motor with IP55 protection and robust cast-iron frame excels in conveyors, pumps, mixers, and machine tools. Its rugged design supports high-load applications, while the 0 pallet packaging and 1-piece MOQ streamline procurement for OEMs and maintenance teams working in production facilities.
Key standards include IP55 protection and IC416 insulation, confirming suitability for protected environments and reliable winding insulation. The unit also aligns with WEEE category considerations for large equipment, and it carries the IMB3 IM1001 mounting classifications for standard industrial installations.
Expected maintenance is lower due to a rugged cast-iron frame and robust insulation, which minimizes fault-induced downtime. The motor’s 745 kg net weight and 765 kg gross weight indicate substantial thermal and mechanical robustness, contributing to longer service intervals. lifecycle cost benefits come from high reliability, straightforward sourcing, and compatibility with standard ABB drive systems.
