The IE3 efficiency class translates to measurable energy savings in continuous-duty operations, reducing operating costs over the motor’s life while maintaining reliable torque delivery for pumps and fans. In practical terms, the IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation protect the winding from dust, moisture, and temperature swings, lowering maintenance frequency and prolonging service intervals in dirty or damp environments. Cast iron construction with a robust 160 frame and bearings 6209-2Z/C3 delivers long-term durability and resistance to wear, reducing downtime and replacement costs in high-cycle applications. The S1 duty rating and 6-pole high-speed performance support high-load processes with predictable startup behavior, while the D-end top terminator box and reversible rotation simplify installation and commissioning across different plant layouts. Compatibility with standard drives and a 1000 m altitude operating limit further enhances integration ease in diverse facilities. This motor also aligns with hazardous area considerations, offering explosion-protected options for compliant installations in regulated environments. Overall, the design emphasizes ease of maintenance, lower lifecycle costs, and predictable, compliant performance for industrial automation ecosystems.

FAQs
For compatibility, mount the 160 frame on a suitable base with the D-End top terminator box, ensure correct shaft alignment, and connect to a standard VFD within the motor’s voltage code (D) and slow-start characteristics. The motor supports reversible rotation and is designed for S1 continuous duty, simplifying integration into conveyors, pumps, or fans in a typical plant layout.
This motor is IE3-rated for high efficiency, IP55-protected for dust and water ingress protection, and a 6-pole configuration delivering robust torque at low-speed operation. It operates at ambient up to 50 °C and up to 1000 m altitude, with a 119 kg net weight and 129 kg gross weight, making it suitable for demanding industrial drives and continuous-duty applications.
Yes, the product line includes EX protection with gas group IIC ratings, indicating suitability for hazardous areas when specified. When selecting this motor for explosion-risk environments, verify the exact EX-classification and compliance documentation for your installation and ensure all wiring methods and enclosures meet local regulatory requirements.
Ideal applications include continuous-duty drives such as pumps, fans, and conveyors in process and manufacturing facilities. The 6-pole design provides solid torque at lower speeds, while the IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation withstands demanding environments. Its cast-iron frame and durable bearings support long service life in industrial settings, reducing maintenance cycles.
With IE3 efficiency and a cast-iron frame, you can expect energy savings during long-running processes and reduced wear-related maintenance. The rugged bearings (6209-2Z/C3) and IC411 insulation minimize downtime, while the motor’s design supports straightforward inspection and replacement. Overall, the combination of reliability, efficiency, and durable construction contributes to a favorable total-cost-of-ownership in high-demand applications.
