Cast Iron Frame delivers rugged mechanical integrity and vibration resistance, enabling consistent torque delivery in heavy-duty lines and prolonging bearing life for conveyors and pumps. This directly reduces maintenance cycles and unplanned downtime in high-load applications. The IP55 protection rating protects critical components from dust and water ingress, lowering repair frequency and improving uptime in outdoor or dusty plant sections. Insulation Class ICLF supports operation at elevated ambient temperatures and under continuous loading, expanding service life in hot facilities or long shifts. A 2-pole, S1 duty design provides predictable speed and torque for constant-torque processes, simplifying drive selection and reducing commissioning risks when paired with ABB drives. The 315 frame and cast iron construction ensure robust mounting, improved alignment stability, and easier retrofits on legacy lines. With a minimum order quantity of 1 piece and a Finland-origin supply, procurement and logistics are straightforward for localized projects and regional maintenance. Weighing 960 kg net (980 kg gross) illustrates a durable solution suitable for heavy-duty installations, with straightforward transport planning and crane-ready handling in controlled facilities.

FAQs
Plan for a robust foundation and crane-accessible handling due to the 960 kg net weight and 980 kg gross weight. The 315 frame in cast iron provides sturdy mounting points, and alignment with standard ABB drive systems is recommended to ensure smooth torque transmission. Consider ambient conditions up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m when selecting cooling and ventilation provisions. Finally, account for the IP55 enclosure to limit dust and moisture exposure in semi-enclosed spaces.
This is a 3-phase, single-speed, 2-pole, S1 duty motor with a 315 frame and cast iron construction. It features IP55 protection and the IC LCF insulation class, enabling reliable operation in moderate-to-hot environments. The unit weighs 960 kg net (980 kg gross) and is designed for continuous operation in conveyors, pumps, and processing equipment, with a minimum order quantity of 1 piece.
Yes. It is rated for S1 duty, meaning continuous operation under full-load conditions. Its rugged cast iron frame, IP55 protection, and robust insulation are chosen to minimize downtime in demanding environments, making it particularly suitable for conveyors, pumps, and processing lines where steady torque and reliability are essential.
The M3BC 315SMB 2 is specified for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 meters, ensuring dependable performance in hot plants or elevated facilities. The IP55 enclosure further guards against dust and moisture, while the insulation class ICLF helps maintain safe operating temperatures during continuous duty.
Originating from Finland (FI), the motor aligns with ABB’s European manufacturing standards, aiding regional supply chain reliability, traceability, and service support. For procurement, this means predictable lead times and compatibility with ABB’s drive ecosystem, simplifying plant-wide integration and aftermarket servicing across Nordic and European facilities.
