FAQs
The motor uses a 315 frame with an IMB3 IM1001 mounting class, designed for standard foot mounting and common coupling configurations. It supports straightforward belt or direct-drive integrations and aligns with typical ABB 315-frame accessories. When planning installation, ensure correct shaft alignment, compatible couplings, and adequate clearance for cooling and service access.
Key electrical specs include IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, insulation class ICLF, ambient temperature up to 40 °C, and altitude up to 1000 m. The motor is a 2-pole, single-speed device with S1 continuous duty and a standard voltage code X. These ratings support reliable operation in multi-shift production lines and harsh environments.
Yes. The IP55 protection, rugged cast-iron frame, and IC411 insulation are designed for continuous operation in dusty, humid, or high-heat environments. Its IMB3 IM1001 mounting supports stable installation in industrial settings, reducing vibration-related wear. Regular maintenance of bearings and cooling systems will further extend service life in mills, mining, and process plants.
The motor’s robust build and shielded IP55 rating minimize unplanned downtime, while the long-term reliability of a cast-iron frame reduces wear-related interventions. The 315-frame footprint and standard ABB accessories simplify spares provisioning, improving uptime and lowering maintenance labor costs across production ramps and seasonal peaks.
