Cast Iron frame and a 355 frame size provide exceptional durability for continuous operation in harsh factory environments, resisting wear and vibration. This rugged construction translates into significantly longer service life and lower maintenance costs, even under high-load duty cycles common in modern production lines. As a general-purpose drive motor for conveyors, pumps, and fans, the ABB M3BC 355SMB 2 integrates smoothly with standard ABB controls and automation architectures. IP55 protection combined with an ambient temperature rating of 40 °C keeps performance stable in dusty, humid, or wet production areas. The enclosure design minimizes ingress and reduces field service calls, helping maintain line throughput and uptime during peak shifts. With a 1000 m altitude tolerance, installations across multiple sites stay compliant without additional derating or reconfiguration. Insulation class ICLF and IC411 protection provide dependable insulation under continuous S1 duty, even as ambient conditions vary across plants. The two-pole configuration enables high-speed operation and efficient power transfer for demanding load profiles as line conditions shift. Voltage Code X and the 355 frame simplify replacement, stocking, and compatibility with standard ABB variable frequency drives. IM Class IMB5 IM3001 mounting ensures compatibility with common baseplates and foot brackets used across the industry, supporting quick installations. The motor ships with a minimum order quantity of one piece, aiding lean procurement and reducing stock risk for OEMs and distributors. Because it is a genuine ABB design, engineers benefit from consistent maintenance procedures and readily available spare parts. Originating in Finland, this motor carries ABB engineering rigor and traceability for quality assurance and long-term supplier support. Net weight is 1680 kg and gross weight 1710 kg, underscoring its substantial, reliability-focused footprint in heavy industrial applications. With a clear 0 pallet packaging level and straightforward ordering, project timelines stay predictable and total cost of ownership improves.

FAQs
ABB M3BC 355SMB 2 uses IMB5 IM3001 mounting, a 355 frame size, and a cast iron enclosure, which simplifies baseplate alignment and reduces alignment downtime during installation. The IP55 rating helps protect against dust and water jets, reducing field service calls. Ensure mounting surfaces are clean, level, and capable of supporting a multi-ton motor, with proper torque on bolts and alignment with ABB drives where applicable.
IP55 provides protection against ingress of dust and water jets, enabling reliable operation on busy factory floors. IC411 insulation, combined with ICLF class, supports safe, long-duration operation under continuous duty (S1). These specs minimize thermal stress and electrical faults, translating into reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs in demanding environments.
Yes. The motor is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 meters, with insulation class ICLF and IC411 protection enabling robust performance under continuous S1 duty. This makes it suitable for general-purpose drives in plants with moderate heat loads, conveyors, and pumps where consistent torque and reliability are critical.
IMB5 IM3001 mounting ensures compatibility with common bases and foot brackets used across industries, enabling quick, repeatable installations and easier future maintenance. The standardization supports interchangeable spares and predictable service procedures, reducing downtime during belt or coupling changes and facilitating OEM integration with existing control systems.
The total cost of ownership benefits from the motor's durable cast iron frame, IP55 protection, long insulation life, and IMB5 mounting, which reduce maintenance frequency and downtime. Finland-manufactured quality and ABB's service network improve spare parts availability and support. A conservative projection shows lower lifecycle maintenance costs and higher equipment availability across conveyors, pumps, and fans in critical processes.
