ABB 3GBL162457-ASB 3-Phase synchronous motor - IP55/IE4

IE4 efficiency translates to lower operating costs across continuous processes such as conveyors and pumps. The Full Load efficiency is 94.6% with strong partial-load performance (94.2% at 75% load), delivering tangible savings on running costs and extending equipment life. Application: ideal for automated material handling and process plants where energy intensity is a concern. IP55 enclosure protects the motor from dust and moisture on busy factory floors, reducing downtime and maintenance needs. Application: packaging lines, CNC areas, and outdoor or semi-enclosed installations. The 4-pole, 160 frame, cast-iron construction provides higher starting torque and rugged mechanical strength, improving drive capability for heavy conveyors and demanding loads. Application: steel and plastics processing, large-scale packaging. Continuous-duty S9 rating with 370 V operation supports reliable performance in steady-state loads, minimizing unscheduled outages. Application: continuous manufacturing lines and automation cells. Premium bearings (6309-2Z/C3 and 6209-2Z/C3) extend service life and lower maintenance frequency, helping lower total cost of ownership in high-load drives. Application: long-life conveyors and mixed-load drives. Replaced product lineage (3GBL162003-ASB) simplifies upgrade paths and ensures compatibility with existing ABB installations; stock is available at Menden, Germany, enabling faster procurement and rollout. Application: capital projects and line upgrades. The D-End top terminator box location, 370 V operation, and 1000 m altitude/40 °C ambient support straightforward installation and robust performance in harsh environments. Application: retrofit and new-build automation.
