Mechanical robustness and installation convenience drive long service life. The motor uses a cast iron frame with a 315 frame size and IMB3 IM1001 mounting, providing excellent rigidity, vibration control, and compatibility with standard ABB foot brackets and couplings. In conveyors, pumps, and mixers, this solid construction translates to reduced alignment issues and faster commissioning. Protection and insulation protect uptime in tough environments. IP55 enclosure guards against dust and water spray, while IC416 insulation and ICLF insulation class support reliable operation under elevated temperatures. This combination minimizes insulation breakdown risk and extends service intervals, especially in plants with washdowns, humid atmospheres, or outdoor installations. Duty, speed, and efficiency support predictable performance. Designed for continuous S1 operation with a 2-pole configuration, the motor delivers steady, energy-efficient speed suitable for pumps, fans, and material-handling equipment. The single-speed design reduces complexity and maintenance while ensuring consistent torque at nominal loads, helping engineers meet process requirements without oversizing. Environmental and mounting considerations are addressed. The motor tolerates ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and elevations up to 1000 m, making it suitable for many global plants. With a robust IM class and 315 frame, it fits a broad range of standard basements, pits, and machine housings, simplifying retrofits and new builds. Procurement and logistics are streamlined. Stocked at Shanghai in China, with origins listed as Finland and China, the product supports faster lead times for Asia-Pacific projects. Minimum order quantity is 1 piece, and the tariff code 85015381 helps with import planning. The heavy 1045 kg net weight signals a high-inertia drive, typically requiring crane-assisted installation. Regulatory alignment and traceability underpin safe operation. WEEE category 4 classification reflects large equipment handling, while UNSPSC 26101100 anchors standard industry classification. These attributes, combined with ABB's reputation for durable motors, help asset managers justify lifecycle costs and compliance during procurement and audits.

FAQs
This motor uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting with a 315 frame and cast-iron construction, aligning with standard ABB mounting feet and couplings. It simplifies retrofits and new installations in conveyors, pumps, and processing equipment, reducing alignment time and enabling faster commissioning on common baseplates.
The motor is designed for continuous S1 duty with a 2-pole configuration, suitable for steady loads. It is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and can operate at elevations up to 1000 m. IP55 protection and IC416 insulation with ICLF insulation class provide reliable performance in demanding environments.
Yes. IP55 protection guards against dust and water spray, and the cast-iron frame plus IC416/ICLF insulation support operation in challenging conditions. This makes it well-suited for plants with washdowns, high humidity, or outdoor areas where reliability and uptime are critical.
The motor carries WEEE category 4 classification and UNSPSC 26101100, aiding regulatory compliance and standard industry categorization. Procurement is streamlined by clear origin notes (Finland/China), a defined tariff code (85015381), and a MOQ of 1 piece, supporting predictable sourcing and cost planning.
Expect durable, low-maintenance operation due to a robust cast-iron frame and reliable insulation. The 315 frame, 1045 kg net weight, and continuous S1 duty reduce downtime and extend service intervals. Coordinating crane-access installation and long service life can yield favorable total cost of ownership in long-running production lines.
