Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 3GFT282721-ADB is built around a four-pole design with a 280 frame and welded steel housing, delivering consistently high torque at low speeds. This translates to smoother start-ups on conveyors and presses, reduced cycle time, and improved process stability in packaging lines. Application of this chassis in heavy-duty lines minimizes vibration and fatigue on downstream equipment, extending service life and reducing maintenance windows. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP23 protection provides reliable operation in workshop and light-industrial environments, safeguarding windings and bearings from splashes and dust ingress. This protection level enables installation without costly enclosures in many plants, supporting faster project rollouts and lower total installed cost. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Insulation class ICLH and IC06 designation offer resilience against demanding ambient conditions, improving thermal behavior under peak loads. For metal-forming or material-handling applications, this results in more consistent performance and fewer overheating events, enabling higher line throughput. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 370 V operation, altitude 1000 m, and ambient 40 °C compatibility ensure the motor suits global installations, reducing the need for regional variations or stock keeping. This simplifies procurement and service planning for multinational facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: D‑End top terminator box and carefully chosen bearings (6322/C3, 6316/C3VL0241) provide easy wiring and long bearing life, reducing installation time and maintenance costs in conveyors, cutting machines, or presses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IMB3 IM1001 mounting class and a robust welded frame support reliable, vibration-tolerant operation in demanding production environments, helping to meet stringent uptime targets across automotive, packaging, and processing sectors.

FAQs
This motor uses a 280 frame with welded steel construction and a D‑End top terminator box for straightforward wiring. It runs on a 370 V supply and is rated for a 4‑pole, 4‑bearing configuration with IP23 protection. The IMB3 IM1001 mounting class supports standard baseplates, making it compatible with common conveyor and machine tool layouts in plant-wide installations.
The motor is designed for high dynamic performance with a 4-pole configuration and a 370 V operating voltage. IE Class data indicates efficiencies around 93.9% full load, with improved partial-load performance (75%: 95.2%, 50%: 96.2%). It is a S9 duty rated device suited for continuous, heavy-duty operation on production lines like conveyors and presses.
Yes. The 280 frame, welded steel enclosure, and IP23 rating make it well-suited for open plant floors and conveyors. The motor’s four-pole design provides reliable torque at required speeds, while the robust bearings and IMB3 IM1001 class support long service intervals, contributing to consistent packaging throughput and reduced maintenance downtime.
Key specifications include IP23 protection and insulation class ICLH, with IC06 classification. The motor is built for industrial environments and designed to withstand ambient temperatures up to 40 °C at elevations up to 1000 m. These ratings support compliant operation in many global facilities while enabling straightforward integration with ABB drive systems.
The combination of robust mechanical design, long bearing life (6322/C3 and 6316/C3VL0241), and top-entry wiring reduces maintenance frequency and downtime. The motor’s reliability on high-load cycles translates to higher line availability, lower spare-part consumption, and faster changeovers, delivering a favorable ROI over typical automation project cycles.
