Durable housing and protection: The 315 mm cast-iron frame provides a robust enclosure with IP55 protection, reducing dust and moisture ingress and lowering field failures for better uptime and lower maintenance costs in demanding plants. Application: Ideal for heavy-duty pumps, fans, and conveyors where reliability is critical. Business impact: Fewer unscheduled outages and lower lifecycle costs. 12-pole, three-phase design: Delivers smooth torque and efficient operation across typical industrial duty, enabling stable operation under continuous loads. Application: Suitable for continuous S1 duty in process and ventilation applications. Business impact: Improved process control and longer equipment life, with easier drivetrain matching to existing drives. Insulation and cooling readiness: IC411 insulation with a cast-iron housing supports sustained performance in elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m. Application: Harsh environments where heat rise and ambient limits are a concern. Business impact: Enhanced reliability and predictable thermal margins for critical processes. Bearings and mechanical robustness: Bearing set 6319/C3 with NDE 6316M/C3 VL0241 and IMB3 IM1001 mounting deliver durable alignment and reduced maintenance intervals. Application: Long-shaft life for fans and pumps with frequent starts. Business impact: Lower maintenance overhead and more predictable uptime. Compliance and origin: Finland-made, with a 315 frame, 12 poles, and standard data including Customs Tariff 85015394 and WEEE category 4. Application: Seamless sourcing within European supply chains and compliant end-of-life handling. Business impact: Reduced procurement risk and clear regulatory alignment. Installation and compatibility: 315 frame and IMB3 IM1001 class enable straightforward integration with ABB and compatible drives. Minimum order quantity is 1 piece, ensuring flexible stocking and rapid deployment for maintenance and upgrades.

FAQs
Confirm the 315 frame size, cast-iron housing, and IMB3 IM1001 mounting class align with your current installation. Check bearing arrangement (6319/C3 with 6316M/C3 VL0241) and ensure the shaft length and coupling type match your driven equipment. The 12-pole, single-speed design is compatible with standard 50/60 Hz drives and common automation platforms, facilitating straightforward retrofits.
Key factors include IP55 protection for dust and water resistance, IC411 insulation for elevated temperatures, and the 12-pole configuration delivering smooth torque with predictable startup. The S1 duty rating ensures reliable continuous operation, while the cast-iron frame supports longevity under demanding loads in industrial settings.
Yes. The M3BJ 315LKC 12 is designed for continuous operation (S1) in challenging environments, offering IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and a durable cast-iron frame. It’s well-suited for pumps and fans where steady torque, long service life, and reduced maintenance are priorities, and it can be integrated with ABB or compatible drive systems.
The motor is Finland-origin with a documented Customs Tariff number 85015394 and falls under WEEE category 4 for large equipment. IP55 and IC411 support relevant safety and insulation standards, while the IM and frame classifications aid in compliant mounting and alignment with industrial installation guidelines.
Expected benefits include reduced downtime due to robust IP55-rated protection and high-expected bearing life (6319/C3, 6316M/C3), leading to lower maintenance costs. The 12-pole, 315-frame setup reduces startup stress and energy losses, improving overall equipment efficiency and extending asset life in pumping and ventilation systems.
