ABB 3GFT162731-SDB Motors & Drives - IP23
Part Number: 3GFT162731-SDB
Quick Summary
ABB 3GFT162731-SDB high dynamic performance motor is engineered for demanding industrial drives. In practice, engineers face tradeoffs between energy efficiency, uptime, and mounting compatibility, especially with large 4-pole frames. This model leverages IP23 protection, insulation class ICLH, and IM classifications to deliver rugged operation in moderate environments. With a 380 V operating voltage, a 160 frame, and an aluminum housing, it enables straightforward integration into existing lines while reducing maintenance needs. The result is lower energy waste, longer bearing life, and dependable startup in mixed-load applications, supported by industry-standard duty cycles and regional origin from Finland.

High dynamic performance design improves torque response, enabling quick startup and tighter speed control in start-stop cycles. This translates to reduced wear and lower energy waste, boosting throughput in packaging lines and conveyors. The motor excels in applications with fluctuating loads, delivering tangible efficiency gains in manufacturing processes. 4-pole, 380 V operation delivers high efficiency across the operating range. IE Class data for 50 Hz shows Full Load around 88.9% with Partial Load up to 90.0%, while 60 Hz values reach about 90.2% Full Load. The business impact is lower energy costs and cooler operation in pumps and fans, supporting longer maintenance intervals and more stable production metrics. IP23 protection and an aluminum frame minimize exposure to dust and minor splashes while maintaining light weight for easier handling and faster installation. This combination reduces downtime during commissioning and routine servicing, especially on lines that require frequent access to the terminals. 6312-2Z bearings paired with IMB35 IM2001 classes provide robust life with reduced friction, translating to longer intervals between service and lower total cost of ownership on continuous operations. The S9 duty rating confirms suitability for long-running, heavy-duty workloads typical in process lines and material handling. Country of origin Finland supports consistent quality and traceability, while the 1 piece minimum order quantity simplifies procurement. The 160 frame and right-side terminator box, along with 380 V compatibility, streamline installation within standard industrial plant footprints.

FAQs
Consider mounting compatibility with a 160 frame and an aluminum housing. The motor uses a right-side terminator box (N-End right side) and is rated for IP23 protection, which suits standard factory environments. Ensure electrical connections match 380 V three-phase supply and verify the 4-pole configuration for accurate speed control in your line.
For 50 Hz, Full Load efficiency is 88.9%, with Partial Load at 75% around 89.9% and 50% around 90.0%. For 60 Hz, Full Load efficiency reaches 90.2%, with Partial Load (75%) about 91.1% and (50%) about 91.0%. These figures translate to tangible energy savings in conveyors, pumps, and fans running on mixed-load profiles.
Yes. The IP23 enclosure rating provides protection against solid objects and water splashes typical in general factory floors. Coupled with an aluminum frame and robust bearings, it supports reliable operation in packaging lines and conveyors where exposure to dust and humidity is moderate and maintenance windows are limited.
The motor uses a 6312-2Z bearing arrangement and a robust aluminum frame (160) to reduce wear and heat generation. Insulation class ICLH and IM class IMB35 IM2001 provide durable electrical and mounting standards. These features help extend lubrication intervals and cut unplanned downtime in continuous-duty environments (S9).
Expect lower energy costs thanks to high IE Class performance across 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The 160 frame and IP23 enclosure simplify installation and reduce protection-related downtime. The 1 piece MOQ and Finland-origin traceability support procurement cycles, while the overall design supports longer service life, predictable startup, and stable throughput in industrial lines.
