Cast Iron frame material provides rugged durability and excellent heat dissipation, reducing vibration and extending service life. This directly lowers maintenance costs and minimizes downtime in demanding line applications such as conveyors and pumps. Frame Size 355 offers a standardized footprint that simplifies retrofit and new installations, aligning with common mounting dimensions and standard ABB drives to streamline procurement and assembly in machine builds and packaging lines. IP55 protection guards against dust and water ingress, boosting reliability in outdoor or wash-down environments and reducing field service interventions during continuous operation in automation lines. Insulation Class ICLF supports sustained operation at ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, reducing insulation-related failures and enabling stable performance in variable plant conditions up to 1000 m altitude. The two-pole motor with S1 duty delivers solid starting torque and reliable continuous operation, pairing well with VFDs for precise speed control on conveyors, pumps, and fans. Made in Finland with a minimum order quantity of 1 piece and a customs tariff number 85015394, the unit enables predictable sourcing and transparent compliance for global projects. Designed for compatibility with standard ABB mounting and control architectures, including IMB3 IM1001, this motor integrates smoothly with drives and control systems, saving engineering time and simplifying spare parts planning.

FAQs
This 3-phase squirrel cage motor is designed for continuous S1 duty and is well suited for conveyors, pumps, and fans in automation lines. The 355 frame with a cast iron housing ensures a robust footprint, while IP55 protection supports reliable operation in dusty or wash-down environments. Pairing with standard ABB VFDs enables precise speed control for varied process requirements.
The motor features IP55 protection for dust and water exposure, IC411 insulation class for reliable operation in elevated temperatures, and corresponds to IMB3 IM1001 mounting. Originating from Finland, it aligns with strict quality and traceability standards, making it suitable for OEM integration and compliant installation in industrial facilities.
Plan for a 355 frame footprint with a cast iron housing and IMB3 mounting. The motor is 2-pole and designed for single-speed operation with S1 duty, and should be paired with a compatible ABB drive for optimal speed control. Ensure electrical connections meet IP55-rated enclosure requirements and account for ambient conditions up to 40 °C and elevations up to 1000 m.
Yes. The 3GBC351422-AXG is designed to integrate with standard ABB drives and mounting standards, including IMB3 IM1001, simplifying system design and spare parts planning. This compatibility reduces engineering time and ensures coherent performance across drive, protection, and control layers in industrial plants.
The rugged cast iron frame, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation contribute to lower maintenance frequency and longer mean time between failures in harsh environments. The motor’s reliability, combined with ABB’s service ecosystem and readily available spare parts, translates to reduced downtime, lower lifecycle costs, and faster project completion for OEMs and upgrade initiatives.
