Rugged Cast Iron Frame with IP55 Protection → Superior durability in dusty, wet, and abrasive environments; reduces maintenance cycles and downtime in conveyors and pumps. This translates to higher line availability and lower total cost of ownership in continuous-run applications. Kaizen-friendly design supports quick installation and field service, making it ideal for automated material handling and process lines. IE2 Efficiency in a 4-pole configuration → Lower energy consumption and heat generation during full-load operation; boosts overall plant efficiency and lowers utility bills in constant-speed drives for fans and compressors. In conjunction with Full Load IE2 of 89.8% and Partial Load performance, operators gain predictable energy savings across load profiles, improving ROI for large-scale installations. EX Protection for IIC gas groups → Safe operation in hazardous environments; meets regulatory expectations for chemical and refining facilities while enabling closer equipment spacing and simplified system architecture. The motor’s ATEX-ready credentials and IP55 rating support compliant installations in ATEX zones and improved ingress protection for dusty plants. Continuous S1 Duty and 4-Pole Design → Optimized torque and steady performance under uninterrupted operation; reduces the risk of thermal overload in pumps and material-handling drives. The device supports easy cooling and reliable starting under full-load conditions, delivering consistent performance on long shift operations. Direction of Rotation Both Sides → Flexible mounting and drive orientation; simplifies motor alignment and reduces downtime during installation or reversal testing on conveyors and agitators. The Cast Iron Frame and Bearing System (6209-2Z/C3) provide long bearing life and rotor stability, minimizing maintenance events in demanding industrial settings. The Terminator Box Location at D-End top and 160 Frame Size enable straightforward wiring and service access, easing retrofits and upgrades in existing panels.

FAQs
Installation benefits start with the 160 frame and cast-iron frame material, ensuring sturdy mounting and long life in tough environments. The D-End top terminator box location simplifies wiring, while the IP55 rating protects against dust and water ingress. Plan for a 4-pole, single-speed, S1 continuous duty setup and ensure ample cooling for sustained operation in hot plants.
The motor operates with IE2 efficiency, a 4-pole configuration, and a 100% Full Load efficiency around 89.8%. It features IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, and a Temperature Class of T3. It is designed for continuous, single-speed duty (S1) and can handle ambient temperatures up to 50 °C at altitudes up to 1000 m.
Yes. The motor carries EX protection and IIC gas-group suitability, making it appropriate for hazardous areas. This enables safer operation in chemical processing, refining, and other potentially explosive atmospheres while maintaining reliable performance with robust cooling and durable bearings.
Optimal in pumps, conveyors, and fans within heavy manufacturing, chemical plants, and oil & gas facilities. The combination of IE2 efficiency, IP55 protection, and a cast-iron frame supports continuous operation with reduced maintenance, enabling higher line productivity and lower energy costs across long-shift drives.
Expect longer bearing life (6209-2Z/C3) and lower maintenance due to the rugged cast-iron frame and enclosure protection. The IE2 efficiency translates into meaningful energy savings over time, reducing operating costs. Our recommended approach is to pair this motor with properly sized drives and preventative maintenance to maximize uptime and ROI on mid-to-large-scale motor fleets.
