Feature → Business Impact → Application: The cast-iron frame provides structural rigidity that reduces vibration and extends bearing life in high-load drives, delivering lower maintenance and longer equipment life for conveyors and mills. The 4-pole configuration enables a stable, high-torque start and reliable speed control essential for packaging lines and material handling systems. IE2 efficiency translates to measurable energy savings across full-load and partial-load conditions, cutting operating costs in continuous processes. IP55 protection and IC411 insulation ensure safe, uninterrupted operation in dusty or humid environments, reducing unscheduled downtime. The 370 V operational voltage supports standard industrial electrical infrastructure, while a 160 frame size and D-End top terminator box simplify retrofits and field servicing. Compatibility with IMB5 IM3001 and 6309-2Z/C3 bearings enhances retrofit viability in legacy ABB installations, improving total cost of ownership for plant-wide modernization projects.

FAQs
Plan for proper base mounting and precise alignment to minimize vibration. The motor uses a cast-iron frame, a top D-End terminator box, 370 V supply, and a 4-pole design. Verify bearing configuration 6309-2Z/C3 and mounting class IMB5 IM3001. Ensure IP55 protection and operation within altitude up to 1000 m and ambient 40°C.
Ideal for high-torque, constant-speed drives in heavy industry such as conveyors, rolling mills, packaging lines, and process equipment. With IE2 efficiency and a robust 160 frame, it delivers reliable performance under S9 duty, while bidirectional rotation support on both sides enables flexible integration into dual-drive and conveyor systems.
IE2 efficiency reduces electrical losses at both full and partial loads, lowering energy consumption and heat generation. In 50 Hz operation the motor delivers around 91.2% full-load efficiency, with comparable performance at 75% and 50% loads, translating to lower energy costs per ton and cooler operation that extends bearing life and reduces cooling requirements.
The motor provides IP55 ingress protection, ensuring protection against dust and water jets. It features IC411 insulation with insulation class ICLF, supports operation up to 40°C ambient and 1000 m altitude, and is rated for 370 V and S9 duty. These specifications support compliance in European and global industrial environments and ensure long-term reliability.
This model replaces 3GBL162004-BSB and aligns with standard ABB mounting footprints. Ensure compatibility with IMB5 IM3001 and bearing 6309-2Z/C3. The motor is stocked in Menden, Germany, with a 1 piece MOQ and a 160 frame size plus D-End top terminator box to ease retrofits and field service for existing ABB systems.
