IE2 efficiency is a core feature, delivering full-load efficiency around 90.6% which lowers energy consumption for long-running pumps and fans. The higher efficiency reduces running costs during continuous operation and improves overall process reliability. Applications include conveyors, mixers, and process equipment where steady torque and energy efficiency are critical. IP55 protection combined with IC411 insulation protects windings and bearings from dust and moisture in harsh facilities, translating to fewer unplanned outages and longer service intervals in dusty environments or outdoor installations. The motor maintains performance in ambient temperatures up to 50°C, supporting reliable operation in hot plants and outdoor sites. Cast iron frame and a robust 160 frame size offer excellent mechanical stiffness and heat dissipation for continuous service, while 6209-2Z/C3 bearings with IMB5 IM3001 classification reduce vibration and extend bearing life, minimizing maintenance costs in mining, metals, and heavy industry. EX protection, Gas Group IIC, and hazardous-area certifications broaden application scopes in chemical processing, oil & gas, and mining operations, enabling safer operation without sacrificing uptime. The D-End top terminator box, four-pole design, and standard mounting footprint simplify integration with existing drives and control systems, supporting quick commissioning and spare-part compatibility. Altitude tolerance up to 1000 m and ambient temperature capability up to 50°C ensure reliable performance across diverse global sites.

FAQs
The motor uses a 160 frame size with a D-end top terminator box, four-pole configuration, and a standard IMB5 IM3001 bearing arrangement, enabling straightforward mounting on common bases and alignment with standard VFDs and control panels. Its non-sparking IE2 variant and robust mechanical design reduce integration risk and spare-part complexity in existing powertrain layouts.
The motor targets IE2 efficiency with Full Load around 90.6% and partial-load efficiencies near 91.3% at 75% load and 91.0% at 50% load. This translates to meaningful energy savings across continuous-duty operations such as pumps, fans, and conveyors, while maintaining stable torque and reliable startup behavior across load conditions.
Yes. The model provides EX protection with Gas Group IIC capabilities and IP55 protection, making it suitable for hazardous zones in chemical, oil & gas, and mining settings. Insulation class IC F (ICLF) and IC411 support operate safely under high ambient temperatures, while IE2 efficiency adds energy savings in demanding environments.
The engine uses a cast-iron frame (160), bearing 6209-2Z/C3 with IMB5 IM3001 classification, which reduces vibration and wear, extending bearing life and maintenance intervals. D-end top terminal box design simplifies wiring during servicing, and the rugged construction helps minimize downtime in harsh industrial plants like metals processing or mining.
ROI drivers include reduced energy costs from IE2 efficiency (up to several percentage points gain over IE1), lower maintenance due to robust bearings and frame, and safer operation with hazard-area certifications. Combined, these factors shorten payback periods for new drives and lower total cost of ownership across production cycles and asset lifecycles.
