The 4-pole design in a 355 frame paired with a 430 V operating voltage delivers robust starting torque and smooth speed control, reducing velocity jitter on line conveyors and packaging machines. This translates to measurable production throughput gains when matched with ABB drives and soft-start routines. IP23 enclosure and insulation class ICLH, combined with IE1 efficiency, provide reliable operation in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m, while keeping energy use low and maintenance needs predictable. The welded steel frame (355) and bearings (6326M/C3; 6322/C3VL0241) support long service life in heavy-duty environments, minimizing unplanned downtime. With a robust IM class (IMB3 IM1001) and a D-end top terminator box, installation remains straightforward on crowded plant layouts. Direction of rotation on both sides adds installation flexibility, and the motor’s single-speed, S9 duty rating aligns with continuous production workloads. Finland-origin manufacturing reinforces quality assurance and supply resilience for global automation projects.

FAQs
For installation, ensure the 430 V supply matches the motor rating and verify IP23 enclosure protection for your enclosure. The 355 frame with welded steel construction fits standard base plates and ABB drive interfaces. Check alignment with existing control gear, install in a space that accommodates the D-End top terminator box, and confirm rotation direction can be set for your conveyor or packaging line. Pre-service checks should include bearing condition and insulation integrity (ICLH) to minimize commissioning time.
The motor is rated for IE1 efficiency across standard mains frequencies, delivering optimized energy use at full load and partial loads. At 50 Hz, you get Full Load efficiency around 94.5%, with comparable performance at 60 Hz. This translates to lower operating costs on continuous production lines and improved heat management within control cabinets when paired with energy-saving drive strategies.
Yes. The IP23 protection class, combined with insulation class ICLH, supports operation in outdoor or semi-enclosed spaces where dust and humidity are present. An ambient temperature rating up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m align with many manufacturing floors. For higher temperatures or harsher environments, consider additional enclosure measures or climate control to preserve motor life and performance.
This motor excels in high-dynamic, continuous-process applications such as filling lines, bagging and pouching machines, carton packaging, and conveyors. The 4-pole, 355 frame provides strong starting torque and stable speed control, enabling precise synchronization with ABB drives and control logic. Its rugged build supports long shifts with minimal maintenance, reducing changeover time and boosting overall line throughput.
Maintenance benefits stem from the robust welded steel frame, protected IP23 enclosure, and reliable bearings. The motor’s long service life and low heat generation, combined with IE1 efficiency, reduce energy costs and cooling requirements. ROI improves when replacing older, less efficient units in continuous-running lines, as downtime drops and throughput increases due to better torque control and simpler integration with ABB drive ecosystems.
