Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 160 aluminum frame reduces weight and enables easier installation in compact motor decks, while maintaining robust mechanical integrity for heavy-load handling. This translates to quicker commissioning, reduced cabinet space, and lower mounting costs in conveyors and pumps. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A 4-pole design provides efficient torque response and smoother acceleration, improving energy efficiency and reducing wear on drive systems in fans and blowers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP23 protection and IC LH insulation deliver reliable operation in moderately dirty environments and higher temperature settings, supporting longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs in process lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE Class data at 50 Hz and 60 Hz demonstrates credible efficiency ranges (around 90.6% to 92.4% full-load), enabling measurable energy savings in multi-motor installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in compatibility with standard 375 V three-phase supplies and a N-end terminator box simplifies wiring, speeding up retrofit projects and new installations in manufacturing cells. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The bearings (6312-2Z) and insulation (ICLH) contribute to extended mean time between overhaul (MTBO) in demanding environments like material handling, with predictable cooling and quiet operation.

FAQs
This motor uses a 160 frame with an aluminum housing and a N-end right side terminator box, which simplifies wiring in space-constrained panels. It supports up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient, making it well-suited for elevated facilities. Use a 375 V three-phase supply and ensure IP23 protection for typical shop-floor environments.
With a high-dynamic performance profile, a 4-pole design and a 375 V rating, the M3FT 160B 4 delivers strong torque response and smooth starts. IE class data indicates solid efficiencies at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, contributing to reduced energy consumption and lower thermal load during peak operation.
Yes. The motor operates at 375 V with a broad frequency range and is designed for standard industrial drives. Its IP23 rating and robust bearings support reliable operation when integrated with common VFDs in automation cells, conveyors, and fans. Use suitable cooling and ensure control hardware accommodates the frame size and torque profile.
Key certifications and features include IP23 protection, Insulation Class ICLH, and the IC06 class designation. The motor is rated for environments up to 40 °C and 1000 m altitude, with a 4-pole, 232 kg net weight configuration. These specs support compliance with industrial safety and reliability expectations in process and material-handling applications.
The 6312-2Z bearings, aluminum frame, and robust enclosure support long MTBF and reduced maintenance intervals. IE Class data indicates efficient operation, contributing to energy savings over the motor’s life. Quick installation and standard 375 V electricals ease retrofits, delivering faster time-to-value and lower total cost of ownership in multi-drive architectures.
