FAQs
The M3FT 180A 4 is designed with a standard 4-pole, aluminum frame and IP23 enclosure, allowing straightforward integration with ABB drives and PLC-based control systems. Its direction of rotation supports bi-directional mounting, and the mounting footprint aligns with common 180 frame motors, simplifying retrofit projects and minimizing downtime during upgrades.
At full load, the motor delivers IE1 efficiency with a typical efficiency around 93.8%, improving energy performance in continuous or high-cycle applications. The 4-pole design provides strong torque characteristics, enabling rapid start/stop sequences on conveyors and packaging lines while maintaining manageable heat generation within the IP23 enclosure.
Yes, the M3FT 180A 4 is intended for demanding duty profiles such as S9, featuring robust insulation (ICLH) and a durable aluminum frame. While not a dual-speed unit, it maintains reliable performance under periodic heavy loading and frequent rest cycles, making it appropriate for heavy-load conveyors and processing equipment when paired with appropriate drive electronics.
Key installation factors include a 180 frame size with aluminum housing for light yet robust construction, a 6314-2Z bearing setup, and a N-End box location on the right side for flexible wiring. The unit supports up to 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient temperature, while IP23 protection helps guard against typical workshop dust and moisture during installation.
Consider IP23 protection for general industrial environments, IE1 efficiency for energy performance, and insulation class ICLH for long-term reliability. Additional aspects include the IC71W insulation standard, Finland (FI) origin for supplier quality, and the UNSPSC 26101100 classification for procurement systems. These factors support compliance, lifecycle cost reductions, and global sourcing.
