Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast Iron frame and 315 frame size provide superior mechanical rigidity and vibration damping, reducing wear and extending bearing life in heavy-duty conveyors and pumps. This translates to lower maintenance costs and higher line uptime in demanding industrial environments. Application-focused insight shows that a robust frame is essential for locations with vibration, misalignment, or mounting challenges across plants. Feature → IP55 protection and IC411 insulation ensure ingress protection against dust and water exposure while maintaining electrical integrity at elevated ambient temperatures, enabling reliable operation in dusty or humid facilities and at 40 °C ambient conditions up to 1000 m altitude. This reduces unplanned outages and supports equipment longevity in tough environments. Feature → 2-pole, single-speed design with S1 continuous duty supports steady, predictable performance under constant load, ideal for conveyors, pumps, and processing lines where consistent torque and speed are required. The business impact is stable production rates and simplified drive selection, even when integrating with standard power systems. Feature → IMB3 IM1001 mounting classification and a CAST IRON frame simplify installation and retrofit projects by aligning with common industrial mounting practices, reducing commissioning time and risk. Application teams can plan straightforward replacements or upgrades without extensive structural changes. Feature → Insulation Class ICLF and IC411 electrical data provide robust insulation and thermal endurance, enabling sustained operation under typical factory temperatures and occasional transient overloads, which lowers the total cost of ownership. This supports compliance with industry norms for electrical safety and reliability in processing environments.

FAQs

Confirm base mounting adheres to IMB3 standards, align bolt patterns with a 315 frame footprint, and secure mounting to minimize vibration. Verify IP55 rated enclosure and check terminal box orientation, then connect per local electrical codes and ABB installation guidelines.
This is a 3-phase, 2-pole, single-speed motor designed for continuous (S1) duty. It uses a cast iron frame (size 315) and offers IP55 protection with IC411 insulation, suitable for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and operation at up to 1000 m altitude. Weight is approximately 940 kg net.
Yes. The 315 cast-iron frame, IP55 enclosure, and continuous-duty rating make it well suited for conveyors and pumps in demanding plants. The motor’s mounting class and insulation design support reliable operation where dust, moisture, and heat are considerations.
The motor features IP55 ingress protection and IC411 electrical data with insulation class ICLF, along with IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility. These characteristics support reliability in harsh environments and align with common industrial engineering practices.
Leverage the motor’s robust cast iron frame and IP55 protection to minimize frequent maintenance in dusty or humid areas. Plan periodic inspections of bearings and seals, ensure proper mounting alignment, and coordinate with ABB guidelines for replacement parts to sustain performance and reduce unplanned downtime.
