FAQs

This motor uses a 355 frame with cast iron housing and IMB5 IM3001 mounting, enabling straightforward alignment with standard conveyor and pump drives. Ensure compatible mounting footprint, verify ambient conditions (40 °C max) and altitude (up to 1000 m), and confirm IP55 protection for dust and splash resistance.
Yes. The motor is rated for an ambient of 40 °C and employs IC416 insulation, which supports sustained operation in hot plant environments. Its robust construction helps minimize insulation degradation and thermal stress during continuous S1 duty.
The motor features IP55 protection and IC416 insulation with IMB5 IM3001 class construction, designed for reliable industrial service. It originates from Finland (FI) and carries the standard electrical and mechanical safeguarding typical for heavy-duty ABB motors.
Best suited for continuous-duty, heavy-load drives such as conveyors, pumps, fans, and material-handling systems in manufacturing and processing plants. The 2-pole, 355 frame design provides solid torque delivery suitable for start-stop duty cycles common in S1 applications.
The rugged cast-iron frame and IP55 protection reduce protective enclosures and external protection needs, lowering maintenance overhead. Its durable insulation and robust bearings support longer service life, improving uptime and overall return on investment through fewer motor replacements and less downtime.
