The motor delivers high IE2 efficiency, which translates to measurable energy savings across continuous operation in conveyors, pumps, and fans, while maintaining stable speed and torque for consistent process results. This improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and reduces operating expenses on long production runs. The rugged cast-iron frame and precision bearings (6309-2Z/C3) extend life in harsh environments, lowering maintenance cycles and spare parts costs while simplifying scheduled downtime planning for uptime reliability in heavy-duty applications across packaging, materials handling, and process control. IP55 protection safeguards internal components from dust and water ingress, boosting equipment availability on dirty floors, outdoor installations, and wash-down environments common in food, beverage, and chemical processing. Insulation class ICLF and the high-temperature tolerance support operation at 40 °C ambient and up to 1,000 m altitude, enabling deployment in remote or elevated facilities without compromising performance. The 370 V operating voltage and 4-pole design fit standard industrial drive systems, easing selection, installation, and compatibility with existing controls. This motor’s design aligns with ABB’s drive ecosystem, supporting streamlined procurement, maintenance planning, and long-term serviceability for industrial automation projects.

FAQs
The motor operates at 370 V and uses a 4-pole design with a cast-iron 160 frame, making it compatible with standard 3-phase drive systems and mounting arrangements. Ensure the drive's current and torque ratings align with the S9 duty class and that the terminator box location (D-End top) fits the existing enclosure. The frame and bearing configuration (6309-2Z/C3) are suited for robust industrial environments, simplifying retrofit and replacement in existing lines.
IE2 efficiency at full load is 91.2%, with near-identical performance at partial loads (75% 91.0%, 50% 89.8%). This translates to meaningful energy savings over long-duty cycles, especially in conveyors and pumps where duty cycles are steady. The improved efficiency reduces electrical energy consumption without sacrificing torque or speed accuracy, supporting lower total cost of ownership in continuous operations.
Yes. The motor carries IP55 protection, protecting it from dust and water ingress, which is essential for dirty floors, wash-down zones, and moderate outdoor conditions. Coupled with a robust cast-iron frame and IC411 insulation, it remains reliable in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and at altitudes up to 1000 m, making it a versatile choice for varied plant locations.
The 6309-2Z/C3 bearing arrangement and the IMB35 IM2001 classifications indicate a design geared toward long intervals between maintenance when operated within specified duty and environmental conditions. Plan routine inspections for bearing wear, seal integrity, and electrical connection checks. The motor’s robust construction supports reduced maintenance frequency and predictable service cycles in heavy-use lines.
Choosing 3GBL162423-HSB aligns with energy-efficiency goals (IE2), high IP protection, and reliable IEC-compliant insulation (ICLF), supporting regulatory requirements and safer operation. The combination of energy savings, extended service life, and compatible form factor (160 frame) reduces retrofit risk and downtime, contributing to faster project timelines and improved return on investment in industrial automation upgrades.
