ABB M3BC 280SMC 2 3-Phase squirrel cage motor - IP55

Cast Iron frame provides exceptional rigidity and vibration resistance, improving bearing life and reducing downtime on high-speed lines. This translates to lower maintenance costs and more consistent throughput in extrusion and processing applications, where tolerances and torque transients matter. The 280 frame size combines robust mechanical stiffness with compact footprint, enabling easier retrofits in legacy lines and improved alignment with standard ABB motor accessories. A heavy-duty, single-speed design keeps control strategy simple while delivering reliable torque across a wide operating range, supporting predictable performance for continuous S1 applications and reducing unexpected stoppages. High-quality insulation with ICFL class and IC416 designation raises resistance to heat and moisture, yielding longer insulation life in challenging plants and enabling safer operation at 40 °C ambient temperatures. IP55 protection guards against dust and water ingress, extending service intervals in dirty or humid environments and supporting safer maintenance windows. IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies installation and interchangeability with existing bases and feet patterns, reducing retrofit risk and spare parts diversity. The motor’s cast iron construction, 745 kg net weight, and 0 pallet (lift) packaging note highlight the need for proper hoisting planning, which informs installation sequencing and site readiness in large automation projects. This unit is designed for 3BC0__M3BC_CI product type and 2-pole operation, aligning with standard industrial automation workflows and ABB control systems to deliver measurable uptime improvements and energy savings.
