Frame and housing durability: The cast iron frame, 315 size, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting options provide a rugged mechanical backbone that resists vibration and heat buildup. Business impact: longer service life, reduced unscheduled downtime, and lower maintenance costs. Application: ideal for heavy-load conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing facilities where reliability is critical. Protection and insulation: IP55 enclosure with IC411 insulation, complemented by ICLF insulation, delivers dependable operation in dusty, damp, and thermally challenging environments. Business impact: improved safety margins, lower warranty risk, and easier regulatory compliance. Application: general‑purpose drives on factory floors with intermittent cooling or exposure to humidity. 2‑pole, S1 duty and compatibility: The 2‑pole design supports high starting torque and stable running speed for continuous processes; S1 duty ensures reliable operation under steady loads. Business impact: predictable performance and simplified drive integration with standard VFDs or mechanical systems. Application: pumps, fans, and material handling where consistent speed matters. Weight, mounting, and logistics: 940 kg net, 960 kg gross with a 315 frame and Cast Iron construction underpin rugged installation, while IMB5 IM3001 support easing mounting and alignment. Business impact: reduced vibration transmission and long-term alignment stability. Application: heavy industrial machines requiring robust fastening and precise alignment. Origin and procurement: Finland origin with tariff code 85015381 and minimum order quantity of one piece streamline sourcing, reducing procurement risk. Packaging notes indicate suitability for lift equipment and careful handling in site installations. Business impact: faster onboarding, predictable lead times, and simplified supplier management.

FAQs
Plan for a 315 frame mounting footprint and IMB5/IM3001 alignment. The motor weighs roughly 940 kg net, so ensure adequate lifting equipment and foundation rigidity to minimize misalignment. Use proper coupling or belt drives, confirm ambient 40 °C tolerance and 1000 m altitude capability, and provide adequate ventilation to sustain IC411 insulation performance over time.
IP55 protects against dust ingress and water jets, reducing electrical faults in dusty or damp plants. IC411 insulation supports reliable operation at elevated ambient temperatures, while ICLF insulation provides robust insulation performance. Together, these ratings improve uptime, extend service intervals, and help meet safety and reliability requirements in industrial facilities.
Yes. The motor is a 2‑pole, S1 duty class, designed for continuous operation with steady loads. Its rugged cast iron frame and protection ratings support long-running applications like conveyors and pumps. For best results, pair with a compatible ABB drive or controller to maintain stable speed and torque, minimizing thermal cycling and wear on mechanical components.
The unit carries IP55 enclosure protection, IC411 insulation class, and ICLF insulation, with Finland as the country of origin. It also lists a customs tariff code 85015381. While CE labeling isn’t stated, the combination of IP, insulation, and regional origin supports compliance in many standard industrial environments and facilitates customs clearance for international projects.
Durable cast iron construction and a robust 315 frame deliver low maintenance requirements and reduced downtime. The 940 kg net weight signals strong inertia and reliability under load, while the IP55/IC411/ICLF combination minimizes protective servicing needs. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs, fewer unplanned outages, and a faster return on investment for production lines that require dependable, long-lived motors.
