FAQs
For IMB3/IM1001 mounting, ensure the machine frame provides stable support for the 177 kg net weight, with alignment tolerance accounted for in the D-End top terminator location. Use the star connection (Y) wiring and verify 400 V, 50 Hz supply is available. Plan for proper cabling routes to minimize heat buildup and ensure accessible maintenance access around the 681 mm length.
The motor delivers 11 kW output with 4 poles at 400 V and 50 Hz, featuring IE5 efficiency and IP55 protection. It uses a cast iron frame size 160, bearings 6309/C3 and 6209/C3, and supports a star (Y) connection with a 4-pole, IMB3 IM1001 mounting. This combination provides strong torque, reliability, and compatibility with European electrical standards.
Yes. The 11 kW IE5 SynRM design provides high efficiency and robust torque for high-inertia loads typical in conveyors and packaging lines. Its 4-pole configuration, 400 V supply, and IMB3 mounting enable reliable startup and steady operation, while the IP55 rating protects against dust and moisture in busy manufacturing environments.
Key specifications include IE5 efficiency, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation class, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting. The product also aligns with EcoSolutions, has an Environmental Product Declaration option, and is listed under UNSPSC 26101100 for procurement classifications, supporting regulatory compliance and sustainability reporting.
The robust cast iron frame and high-grade bearings reduce wear, extending service intervals and minimizing downtime. IE5 efficiency lowers energy costs, contributing to a favorable return on investment over the motor’s lifecycle. With ready-made star connection and standard dimensions, long-term maintenance planning becomes predictable and straightforward for OEMs and end users.
