FAQs
This motor uses a 315 frame and IMB5 IM3001 mounting class, making it compatible with standard foot/masket mounting arrangements and common drive systems. Ensure proper alignment, secure mounting, and correct electrical connections to minimize vibration and torque loss. Use suitable terminal boxes and regional wiring practices to streamline commissioning and reduce startup time.
Key ratings include a 2-pole configuration, single-speed operation (S1), voltage code X, IP55 protection, and IC416 insulation. Operation is suitable for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C at altitudes up to 1000 m. Designed for continuous duty in pumping, conveying, and general mechanical drives with standard control systems.
Yes. The IP55 rating provides protection against dust and water exposure, while the cast iron frame and IC416 insulation support high thermal tolerance and rugged operation. Its Finnish origin also reflects robust manufacturing and long-term durability for continuous-duty applications in mining, water treatment, and processing facilities.
The motor features IP55 ingress protection and IC416 insulation, along with IMB5 IM3001 mechanical classifications. While these specifications denote strong compliance for industrial use, verify local CE or regional regulatory requirements for your facility to ensure full conformity in your market.
With a rugged cast iron frame, IP55 protection, and a simple 2-pole design for continuous operation, maintenance intervals are typically longer and downtime is reduced. The motor’s robust construction and high service life contribute to lower lifecycle costs, predictable maintenance planning, and improved plant availability, particularly in demanding environments like pumps and conveyors.
