Feature: Cast iron frame and 315 frame size provide exceptional mechanical strength and vibration resistance, enabling stable performance in heavy-duty conveyors and pumps. Business impact: reduced wear, longer service intervals, and lower maintenance costs. Application: suitable for continuous operation in demanding manufacturing lines with high dynamic loads. Feature: IP55 protection and IC416 insulation class guard against dust and moisture ingress, supporting reliable operation in factory floors and washdown environments. Business impact: fewer unplanned outages and improved uptime, boosting throughput on packaging and processing lines. Application: environments where exposure to humidity and dust is common. Feature: IMB3 mounting compatibility and IM1001 mounting options simplify installation and alignment with standard bases, reducing commissioning time. Business impact: faster installation, fewer field errors, and better spare-part planning. Application: retrofit projects or new builds using ABB mounting patterns. Feature: 2-pole, single-speed design delivers predictable RPM and torque characteristics for synchronized processes, improving control with existing drives. Business impact: easier control strategy, compatible with common drives, and reduced integration risk. Application: continuous-process applications like pumps and fans where steady speed is critical. Feature: Ambient temperature up to 40 °C and operation up to 1000 m altitude, expanding suitability across multiple geographies. Business impact: minimized derating, improved lifecycle planning, and broader site applicability. Application: plants in varied climates or high-altitude facilities where consistent performance is essential. Feature: 315 frame cast-iron body and substantial weight (net 1045 kg, gross 1065 kg) indicate robustness and reliable vibration damping for long service life. Business impact: higher mean time between failures (MTBF) and better total cost of ownership. Application: heavy-duty industrial installations requiring durable, maintenance-friendly motors.

FAQs
This model is designed around the IMB3 mounting pattern with IM1001 compatibility, enabling straightforward flange or foot mounting on standard bases. For best results, use a crane-enabled installation due to the motor’s 1045 kg net weight, verify shaft alignment with the 315 frame, and confirm compatible ABB drive interfaces during commissioning to minimize alignment and wiring errors.
Key specs include a 2-pole configuration, S1 duty (continuous operation), IP55 protection, IC416 insulation, and an IC Lamp? insulation class: ICLF. The motor is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and operation up to 1000 m altitude, with a cast-iron frame (315) suitable for heavy, continuous loads in industrial plants.
Yes. The motor’s 315 frame and standard mounting pattern integrate with typical ABB drive systems and control architecture. Its robust, single-speed 2-pole configuration simplifies drive programming, while the IP55 rating and insulation class support reliable operation when paired with ABB VFDs and protection schemes in harsh environments.
The motor features IP55 ingress protection, IC416 electrical class, and an IMB3 mounting class, all aligning with common industrial safety and reliability expectations. Combined with a cast-iron frame and S1 duty, these attributes support long service life and compliance in demanding manufacturing and processing settings.
The 315 frame, cast-iron construction, and IP55/IC416 protections reduce maintenance frequency and unplanned downtime, boosting equipment availability. While the motor is heavy and requires proper lifting, its durability and compatibility with standard ABB components streamline spare-parts planning and service intervals, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle.
