FAQs

The motor uses IMB5 mounting class with a 315 frame and cast iron construction, enabling straightforward base or flange mounting on standard equipment. It supports common alignment and shaft interfaces, reducing retrofit risk and enabling quick commissioning in new-build lines or upgrades across conveyors and pumps.
It is a 2-pole, 3-phase motor designed for S1 continuous duty, with a voltage code X and a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C. The IP55 protection rating and IC411 insulation ensure reliable operation in typical factory environments and during thermal cycling in long-running processes.
Yes. With IP55 protection, a robust cast-iron frame, and IC411 insulation, the motor is well-suited for conveyors, pumps, and fans in moderate dust, humidity, and grime. Its 315 frame size provides high torque at low speeds, supporting robust start-ups in material handling and processing applications.
The motor is designed for industrial reliability with IP55 and IC411 insulation, manufactured in Finland, and falls under appropriate WEEE and safety guidelines. The product supports traceability and supplier qualification efforts, aiding audits and cross-border procurement for regulated facilities.
Its durable cast-iron frame, protected electricals, and standard mounting simplify maintenance scheduling and spare-part management. Reliable performance under S1 duty reduces unexpected downtime, while ABB service support and long-term availability help stabilize TCO, especially in high-throughput facilities such as packaging, automotive, and metalworking plants.
