FAQs
Begin by confirming the 382 V operating voltage and ensuring the frame is mounted on a compatible base with the 225 frame size. Connect the terminal box located on the N-End right side, verify the IP23 protection, and align the motor orientation for both-sides rotation. Use appropriate fasteners and torque specs, then commission with your ABB drive for proper ramping and control. This setup minimizes thermal and electrical stress while enabling straightforward maintenance.
The 4-pole configuration provides strong startup torque and rapid acceleration, improving throughput on conveyors and packing stations. Combined with high dynamic performance, it delivers precise speed control under load changes, reducing dwell time and improving overall cycle efficiency. When paired with compatible ABB drives, you get smooth torque delivery and predictable response essential for high-speed packaging.
Yes. The motor is specified for altitude up to 1000 meters and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, aligning with many regional manufacturing sites. The insulation class ICLH and the protective IP23 rating contribute to reliable operation in typical plant conditions where dust or moisture is present. For extreme environments, consider site-specific cooling or enclosure upgrades in the drive train.
Key certifications and standards include IP23 ingress protection and insulation class ICLH, which support safe operation in standard factory floors. The S9 duty rating confirms suitability for heavy, continuous running applications. Its design also accommodates robust mechanical interfaces, ensuring consistent performance across multi-site deployments and compliance with common industrial safety practices.
The motor’s rugged welded steel frame, heavy-duty bearings (6319/C3 and 6316/C3 VL0241), and long service life contribute to lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime, translating to a favorable ROI over standard production cycles. Plan preventive maintenance for bearings, check terminal connections via the N-End right side access, and schedule periodic inspections aligned with operator shifts to sustain peak efficiency.
