Feature → High dynamic torque from a four pole design enables fast, precise speed changes. Business Impact → This improves equipment responsiveness and reduces energy waste during start‑stop cycles. Application → Ideal for conveyors, mixers, and packaging lines where load conditions shift rapidly. Feature → IP23 enclosure and ICLH insulation provide robust protection in typical factory environments. Business Impact → Lower risk of moisture ingress and insulation degradation increases mean time between maintenance. Application → Suitable for floors with dusty or damp conditions, controlled climate zones in manufacturing. Feature → 380 V operation and 160 frame ensure compatibility with standard industrial power distribution and existing mounting footprints. Business Impact → Simplifies installation, reduces need for adaptors, and speeds up retrofits. Application → Retrofit projects in packaging and process lines using standard voltage classes. Feature → S9 duty rating supports heavy startup and intermittent high‑load operation. Business Impact → Minimizes overheating risk and extends motor life in demanding line cycles. Application → Found on heavy‑load conveyors and feeders. Feature → Bearings 6312‑2Z and aluminum frame balance ruggedness with reliable lubrication. Business Impact → Longer bearing life, easier maintenance, and lower replacement costs. Application → Industrial settings with frequent start‑stop and demanding service conditions. Feature → Finland origin and ABB manufacturing standards ensure consistency and supply chain reliability. Business Impact → Predictable lead times and consistent quality across global plants. Application → Global OEM programs and cross‑site deployments.

FAQs
The M3FT 160B 4 is designed for 380 V three‑phase power and aligns with standard IEC mounting. It integrates smoothly with ABB drives and common PLC/VFD control schemes, reducing commissioning time. For best results, select a drive that matches IE1 efficiency and confirm IP23 suitability for the specific environment.
Operating ambient temperature is rated up to 40 °C with a maximum altitude of 1000 m. It features IP23 protection and insulation class ICLH, which supports reliable operation in typical factory floors with dust and moisture exposure.
Yes. The four‑pole design delivers high dynamic torque, enabling rapid load changes while the S9 duty rating sustains intermittent high loads. This makes it well suited for conveyors, fillers, and packaging equipment that require quick response without overheating.
The 6312‑2Z bearings are selected for durability in demanding cycles. Plan regular inspection for lubrication and axial play, and consider preventive replacement at defined run hours to avoid unexpected downtime. Operators should follow standard ABB maintenance guidelines for bearing lubrication and seal checks.
The motor's energy efficiency (IE1) and robust design reduce energy consumption and maintenance needs, contributing to lower total cost of ownership. In retrofit scenarios, faster installation, shorter downtime, and improved reliability translate to shorter payback periods and higher line throughput.
