Feature: Cast Iron frame and 355 frame size provide rigid mechanical strength. Benefit: Reduces vibration-induced wear and extends bearing life, lowering maintenance costs. Application: Heavy-duty conveyors and pumps in high-vibration environments. Feature: 2-pole, S1 duty design delivers high torque at startup with reliable continuous operation. Benefit: Improves line performance and reduces sudden stops in packaging lines and processing equipment. Application: Continuous-duty installations where uptime matters. Feature: IP55 protection and IC411 insulation class enable operation in dusty or humid plant areas with elevated reliability. Benefit: Lower downtime risk from environmental ingress and overheating, supporting predictable maintenance cycles. Application: Motors near dust-generating processes or splash zones. Feature: IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility and 355 frame enable straightforward installation with standard ABB interfaces. Benefit: Simplifies retrofits and spare-part sourcing, reducing installation time and crane planning for heavy units. Application: Plant upgrades and new line deployments. Feature: Robust weight and packaging (net 1600 kg) paired with a cast-iron housing support long service life in demanding facilities. Benefit: Higher total cost of ownership efficiency due to fewer replacements and better lifecycle performance. Application: Heavy industrial duty applications across mining, metals, and processing facilities.

FAQs
Installation requires a rigid base and proper alignment to prevent misalignment wear. Use the IMB5 IM3001 mounting class with the 355 frame for a secure fit, and plan crane-lift handling for the 1600 kg net weight. Ensure a clean, dry, ventilated environment to satisfy IP55 and ambient-temperature constraints.
The 3GBC351212-BXG is a 2-pole, S1 duty, single-speed motor with voltage code X and typical ABB drive integration. It is suitable for standard industrial 3-phase power architectures and can be integrated with VFDs for controlled start/stop, with proper protection and cooling.
Yes, IP55 protection provides dust resistance and limited water spray protection; IC411 insulation supports operation in high-temperature environments up to 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude. Ensure enclosure and mounting meet the environmental requirements and maintain proper cooling.
It is designed for continuous operation (S1) with a cast-iron frame of 355 and IMB5 IM3001 mounting, ensuring rigidity and vibration resistance. The 2-pole design delivers solid startup torque and stable operation, while the insulation and housing reduce heat-related wear, supporting long-term reliability in challenging factory conditions.
The combination of rugged cast-iron construction, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation yields a long service life with lower downtime. Maintenance is predictable and infrequent, driven by robust housing and mounting. Although heavy to install, the unit delivers stable, efficient performance and reduced replacement costs over its lifecycle.
