Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE5 efficiency class paired with a synchronous reluctance design reduces waste heat and energy use, lowering operating costs across long-running drives and high-duty cycles in packaging and process lines. This translates to cooler equipment, longer bearing life, and fewer cooling requirements in tight plant footprints. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 enclosure and rugged cast-iron frame provide protection against dust and water ingress, enabling outdoor or semi-exposed installations on conveyors, water/pump systems, and material handling. This reduces the need for extra enclosures and simplifies maintenance in harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IC411 insulation with 4-pole, 7.5 kW output at 380 V and 50 Hz supports stable torque delivery under peak loads, improving process control for extrusion, milling, and packaging drives. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IMB5/IM3001 mounting and frame 160 enable fast commissioning and straightforward retrofits on existing motor rails, minimizing downtime during upgrades and ensuring compatibility with standard drives and soft starters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: D-connection configuration and a 3-phase, 4-pole design deliver robust performance with widely available VFDs, enabling easy integration into existing electrical architectures for manufacturing cells and line substations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A 681 mm length, 421 mm height, 338 mm width footprint with a 160 kg net weight, plus a 170 kg gross weight, ensures compatibility with common palletized handling and standard installation cradles, reducing logistics complexity and enabling simple replacement in mixed fleets. Long-tail keywords integrated include IE5 synchronous reluctance motor, 7.5 kW motor 380 V, IP55 motor, frame 160 synchronous motor, IMB5 mounting, 4-pole 50 Hz motor, D-connection motor, and cast-iron frame motors for industrial drives.
