ABB M3BC 355SMC 2 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Motor - IP55
Part Number: 3GBC351234-BXG
Quick Summary
ABB M3BC 355SMC 2 is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for demanding industrial drives across processing, packaging, and conveyors. Engineers often struggle with downtime and maintenance when older motors operate in heat, dust, and rugged environments; this design emphasizes ruggedness, serviceability, and predictable performance to keep lines running. Key ratings include IP55 protection for harsh environments, IC416 insulation for elevated temperatures, and IMB5 IM3001 mounting robustness. Its cast‑iron frame provides rigidity, and the Finland origin supports predictable supply chains and long-term availability. Coupled with standard ABB interfaces and common mechanical footprints, it delivers reliable performance with reduced total cost of ownership. This combination supports efficient procurement and faster installation in industrial facilities.

FAQs
This motor uses a 355 frame with an IMB5 IM3001 mounting class and a cast-iron enclosure, making it compatible with standard base plates and common coupled drives. It supports installation in environments up to 1000 m altitude and 40°C ambient, with IP55 protection for dust and water ingress. Ensure proper alignment, secure mounting, and compatible electrical connections to maintain performance and longevity.
Key specs include a 2-pole configuration for fixed-speed operation, S1 duty cycle, and a 355 frame with a cast-iron body. Electrical considerations include voltage code X and IP55 protection, while insulation is IC416. The motor weighs roughly 1775 kg net, with a gross weight around 1805 kg, suitable for heavy-duty industrial lines.
Yes. The motor is rated IP55, offering protection against dust ingress and water spray, making it suitable for dusty plants and wash-down areas. It also features IC416 insulation designed to tolerate elevated temperatures, helping maintain electrical performance in warm facilities. For extended life in aggressive environments, ensure proper enclosure and cooling as part of system design.
The motor carries IP55 protection and IC416 insulation, with an IMB5 IM3001 mounting class. It lists a Finland origin and a customs tariff number of 85015394. While CE labeling is not specified in the provided data, the documented IP and insulation ratings support compliance in many standard industrial installations and regional requirements.
The M3BC 355SMC 2 is built for reliability with a cast-iron frame and robust mounting, which reduces vibration-related wear and downtime. Benefits include predictable lifecycle costs, easier spare-part management due to standard ABB interfaces, and compatibility with durable, long-life components. For ROI, consider the uptime gains from IP55 protection and IC416 insulation alongside the heavy, stable frame that minimizes mechanical faults in continuous operations.
