Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast iron frame and 315 size provide exceptional mechanical rigidity and vibration resistance, reducing shaft alignment issues and extending bearing life in demanding line applications such as material handling and conveyors. This translates to lower maintenance costs and higher line availability for manufacturing plants. Feature → IP55 ingress protection and robust enclosure design improve reliability in dusty, humid, or wash-down environments, enabling secure operation on harsh production floors and in packaging lines. Application: food processing, cement and mining sites, and outdoor installations. Feature → IC416 insulation class and insulation system (ICLF) offer enhanced thermal stability, enabling higher ambient operating temperatures and longer insulation life, which reduces the risk of overheating during peak loads. Application: continuous operation in high-temperature facilities and continuous process lines. Feature → IMB3 IM1001 mounting class and 315 frame ensure standardized installation with common motor bases, easing retrofits and replacements. Business impact: faster commissioning and lower installation risk. Application: retrofits in existing ABB drive ecosystems and new line setups. Feature → 2-pole, single-speed design provides high starting torque with efficient steady-state performance, supporting quick start/stop cycles and reduced mechanical stress. Application: speed-controlled conveyors and mixers in heavy industry. Feature → 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient suitability expand site options, enabling reliable operation across regional facilities without excessive derating. Application: regional plants, offshore or high-altitude operations. Overall, this motor aligns with long-term maintenance planning, energy efficiency goals, and OEM compatibility for streamlined automation projects.

FAQs
The motor uses standardized IMB3 IM1001 mounting configuration with a 315 frame, facilitating straightforward installation on common baseplates and compatible couplings. This design minimizes alignment issues, reduces installation time, and supports seamless retrofits into existing ABB drive ecosystems. Confirm any site-specific spacer or adaptor needs with your ABB distributor prior to purchase.
This is a single-speed, 3-phase motor designed for S1 duty (continuous operation) with an ambient temperature rating around 40 °C and an altitude up to 1000 meters. Its IP55 ingress protection and IC416 insulation class provide reliable performance in dusty or humid environments, helping maintain torque stability and reducing thermal wear during long production runs.
The provided data highlights IP55 protection and insulation classifications, along with mounting and frame details. It does not explicitly state CE certification. For regulatory compliance, verify with ABB or your local distributor to confirm regional approvals and add any required conformity markings based on your plant location and application.
Plan for a compatible base or mounting surface that accommodates the 315 frame and IMB3 IM1001 configuration. Account for the motor’s weight (net around 1,210 kg; gross ~1,230 kg) and ensure appropriate hydraulic or mechanical lifting provisions. Verify alignment with existing belts, couplings, and drive trains to minimize vibration and maximize efficiency.
Best-fit applications include heavy-duty conveyors, material handling, mining, and processing lines where robust frame construction (cast iron), IP55 protection, and high-torque start are advantageous. The 315 frame and 2-pole configuration support reliable, continuous operation in demanding environments, helping to reduce downtime and extend motor life in industrial facilities.
