FAQs
When deploying the ABB 3GFT162721-SDB, verify the 370 V supply, IP23 enclosure, and aluminum frame size 160. Plan for the N-End right side terminator box location and ensure wiring follows the direction of rotation on both sides. Confirm the bearing arrangement (6312-2Z) and mounting compatibility with IMB35 IM2001 classes to ensure a smooth installation and service access.
Yes. It is specified for S9 duty, indicating continuous operation with intermittent loads. The motor delivers reliable torque across full-load and partial-load conditions, backed by IE Class data at 50 Hz and 60 Hz (full-load efficiencies around 87.9–89.4%), ensuring predictable performance on demanding production lines and packaging equipment.
The IP23 enclosure and robust mechanical design (aluminum frame, 160; 6312-2Z bearings) provide suitable protection for moderate dust and humidity levels typical of packaging environments. While not a dedicated ATEX or food-grade stainless variant, it offers reliable performance, good enclosure protection, and compatibility with standard ABB drives for controlled acceleration and speed profiles.
The motor supports versatile installation with rotation on both sides and a compact 4-pole design, simplifying drive selection and wiring. The N-End right side terminator box location facilitates straightforward cabling, while the 370 V operation and 1000 m altitude tolerance reduce the need for multiple regional SKUs and simplify site commissioning.
With a robust aluminum frame, high-quality bearings (6312-2Z), and a weight of 232 kg (net), the motor is built for longevity in industrial environments. The combination of IP23 protection and insulation class ICLH helps reduce downtime, while predictable IE class efficiency supports lower operating costs over the motor’s lifecycle, contributing to favorable total cost of ownership.
