Durable, heavy-duty construction directly translates to longer service intervals and less unscheduled downtime in harsh environments, making it ideal for conveyors and pumps where uptime is critical. The 315 frame with a cast iron enclosure delivers superior rigidity and vibration damping, enabling predictable performance and smoother operation under heavy load conditions. IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation support reliable operation in dusty or humid sites, reducing the risk of insulation failure and heavy maintenance costs over time. A 2-pole, single-speed design with an IMB5 IM3001 classification ensures straightforward replacement and compatibility with common electrical panels and maintenance practices, accelerating installation and minimizing spare-part inventories. The motor’s Finnish origin and standard 1-piece Selling Unit support straightforward procurement and predictable lead times, enabling smoother project planning and supply chain management. By aligning with ABB control architectures, this motor maximizes drive-system efficiency, supports scalable upgrades, and helps facilities meet regulatory and safety expectations while delivering measurable efficiency gains.

FAQs
The motor is a 3-phase, 2-pole unit designed for integration with common ABB drive systems and control panels. Its IMB5 IM3001 mounting and 315 frame size simplify mounting and electrical interfacing, reducing engineering time and enabling seamless control integration with established ABB automation architectures.
Key specifications include IP55 protection, IC411 insulation class, 315 frame size, cast-iron frame material, and a 2-pole configuration for continuous S1 duty. The product weighs approximately 940 kg net, with a gross weight around 960 kg, and originates from Finland, aiding sourcing and regulatory considerations.
Yes. It is specified for an ambient temperature of 40 °C and an altitude up to 1000 m, supporting reliable operation in mid-to-high-temperature sites and moderate elevations common in industrial facilities. This makes it suitable for hot manufacturing floors and outdoor-like plant spaces with ventilation constraints.
Compliance aspects include IP55 rating for environmental protection, IC411 insulation suitable for continuous duty, and WEEE categorization for end-of-life handling. The unit is manufactured in Finland and carries a Customs Tariff Number of 85015381, aiding import compliance and tracking in regulated markets.
The rugged cast-iron frame, solid insulation, and robust IP protection contribute to lower maintenance frequency and extended service life, reducing downtime costs. Its compatibility with standard control systems minimizes spare parts and training needs, delivering predictable lifecycle costs and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in production lines.
