Feature: Cast iron frame and IMB3 IM1001 enclosure provide exceptional rigidity and vibration resistance, reducing wear on bearings and extending service intervals. Business Impact: Lower downtime and maintenance costs, improved reliability in high-load applications. Application: Suitable for heavy-duty conveyors, crushers, and processing lines in mining and material handling environments. Feature: IP55 protection with IC411 insulation class ensures durable operation in dusty, humid, or contaminated settings while maintaining electrical integrity. Business Impact: Enhanced equipment availability and compliance with maintenance best practices in plants with challenging ambient conditions. Application: Cement plants, steel mills, and outdoor installations where protection from ingress is critical. Feature: 315 frame with cast iron frame material for robust mechanical strength and compatibility with standard mounting arrangements. Business Impact: Simplified installation, reduced mounting adaptation, and compatibility with common 315 frame accessories. Application: Machine tools, pumps, and fans in mid- to large-scale industrial projects. Feature: Two-pole, S1 duty motor designed for continuous operation with reliable speed control when paired with standard ABB drives. Business Impact: Predictable performance and energy-use optimization, supporting lower lifecycle costs. Application: Air handling, water pumps, and process lines requiring steady torque. Feature: Clear ordering data and origin details, including Finland origin and tariff code 85015381, aid procurement and customs clearance. Business Impact: Faster sourcing, accurate compliance documentation, and streamlined import processes. Application: Global manufacturing facilities and regional distribution centers seeking standard, traceable components. Industry insight: The M3BC 315SMC lineage and 315 frame are well-suited for retrofit projects where existing 315-frame motors are replaced without major mechanical changes, reducing downtime and spare-parts stocking challenges. This aligns with lifecycle optimization strategies used in automation and plant modernization initiatives.

FAQs
This motor uses a standard 315 frame with cast iron construction and IMB3 IM1001 enclosure class, supporting common foot and flange mounting. It integrates with standard ABB drives and controls, minimizing retrofit work and enabling straightforward installation in conveyors, pumps, or fans.
The motor provides IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, with operating altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. It is rated for S1 continuous duty, and the 2-pole design supports reliable, steady operation under typical industrial loads.
The data specifies IP55, IC411 insulation, IMB3 IM1001, and Finland origin but does not explicitly list CE certification. Confirm compliance with local procurement requirements and ABB documentation when sourcing for CE-regulated environments.
The product lists Finland (FI) as country of origin and a Customs Tariff Number of 85015381, which aids customs classification and import planning for international projects.
Best suited for continuous-duty, heavy-load applications such as conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing or processing facilities. The 315 cast-iron frame, IP55 protection, and robust insulation support reliable operation in harsh environments while enabling straightforward integration with ABB control systems.
