Feature → Business Impact → Application: The IE2 efficiency class reduces operating costs on continuous-duty applications such as conveyors and mixers, delivering noticeable energy savings and a lower total cost of ownership in automated lines. This translates to improved ROI for material handling systems and packaging lines that run at high loads for extended periods. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 protection shields the motor from dust and water ingress in manufacturing floors, outdoor installations, or wash-down environments, minimizing unscheduled downtime and maintenance expenses for food, beverage, and chemical processing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ex-protection with Gas Group IIC support makes this motor suitable for hazardous zones; coupled with IP55 and IC411 insulation, it enables safe operation in chemical plants and refineries, reducing compliance risk in explosion-hazard areas. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast iron frame, 160 mm size, and bearing configuration (6209-2Z/C3) deliver rugged durability, extended service life, and reliable performance under vibration-prone conditions common in pumping and pressing equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Top-side D-End terminal box and IMB3 IM1001 mounting class simplify installation and retrofits, enabling quicker wiring, reduced installation time, and compatibility with standard drive systems and soft starters in automated lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 2-pole, S1 duty, and 50 °C ambient tolerance provide predictable thermal performance and continuous operation for applications like fans, grinders, and extruders that require steady, continuous torque with minimal maintenance. This combination also supports easier integration with VFDs for speed control and process optimization, aligning with industry 4.0 initiatives.

FAQs
This motor uses a 160 frame with a D-End top terminal box, simplifying wiring during new installs or retrofits. The bearing arrangement is 6209-2Z/C3 and the IM class is IMB3 IM1001, which aligns with standard baseplates. Plan for adequate space at the D-End top box, verify shaft alignment with couplings, and ensure the mounting surface accommodates the 141 kg gross weight. For serviceability, the top-entry terminal box allows straightforward electrical connections without extended downtime.
The motor meets IE2 efficiency, designed for S1 continuous duty with a 2-pole configuration. It runs at Full Load efficiency around 90.9% and maintains 91.2% at 75% partial load, with 50 °C ambient tolerance and 1000 m altitude capability. This makes it suitable for steady, long-running applications like conveyors and pumps where energy costs and thermal stability are critical.
Yes. It features Ex protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC suitability, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation class, which support safe operation in hazardous zones. The non-sparking IE2 cast-iron design further aids reliability in environments with flammable atmospheres, while surface protection and robust bearings enhance uptime for material handling and processing conveyors.
Key standards include IE2 efficiency, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation class, and Ex-protection with Gas Group IIC. Temperature class T3 and ambient limits (up to 50 °C) are specified, making the motor compliant for demanding industrial installations in both standard and hazardous environments. The frame, bearing, and mounting classifications align with common industrial automation specifications.
The cast-iron frame and robust bearings (6209-2Z/C3) support long service life with reduced maintenance cycles. The water/dust protection (IP55) and explosion-protection features minimize downtime in harsh settings, contributing to lower total cost of ownership. When paired with appropriate drives or soft starters, efficiency gains from IE2 can reduce energy consumption across continuous running periods, improving overall project ROI.
