IP55 protection and a cast-iron frame shield the motor from dust, moisture, and rough handling, significantly extending service life in harsh industrial environments and reducing unplanned downtime. This translates to lower maintenance costs and greater production uptime for manufacturing lines using industrial drive systems. The 355 frame with a 2-pole design offers straightforward mounting and compatibility with common couplings and belts, enabling faster installation and reduced commissioning time for conveyors and pumps. IC411 insulation and the ICLF insulation class provide reliable heat resistance and voltage endurance in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, supporting steady performance in challenging factories and remote locations. A continuous S1 duty rating ensures the motor runs reliably at constant load, keeping fans, pumps, and material handling systems online. The heavy-duty cast iron construction, Finnish origin, and standard planetary gear and drive interfaces deliver proven compatibility with industrial automation architectures, while meeting WEEE considerations for large equipment.

FAQs
The M3BC 355SMC 2 uses a standard 355 frame with a 2-pole configuration and is designed for conventional base mounting. It supports 3-phase electrical connections typical for industrial drives and is compatible with standard coupling, belt, and power connection practices used in conveyors and pumps. Ensure environment meets IP55 protection requirements and the ambient temperature does not exceed 40 °C for reliable operation.
This motor is rated for continuous S1 duty with IP55 protection and IC411 insulation. The 2-pole design provides appropriate speed characteristics for conveyors and pumps in elevated facilities, while the 355 frame and cast-iron construction ensure mechanical robustness. All specs are chosen to maintain reliable torque and thermal stability under elevated ambient conditions.
Yes. The combination of IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and a rugged cast-iron frame makes it well-suited for continuous-duty conveyors and pumps in dusty, humid, or heat-prone environments. Its S1 duty rating supports long, uninterrupted operation, while compatibility with standard drives and mounting reduces integration risk and downtime during installation or retrofits.
The motor meets IP55 protection and IC411 insulation requirements, supporting reliable operation in challenging environments. It also carries a Finnish origin and is aligned with general industrial safety expectations for robust 3-phase motors. While CE marking is common in the industry, always verify regional compliance requirements for your facility and project scope.
The heavy-duty cast-iron frame and rugged construction reduce wear and the need for frequent maintenance, lowering total cost of ownership. The motor’s continuous S1 duty minimizes unscheduled downtime in conveyors and pumps, while standard mounting and drive compatibility speed up installation and commissioning, delivering faster time-to-value and improved line productivity.
