The IE2 energy efficiency feature translates into meaningful operating-cost reductions for general-purpose drives such as pumps and conveyors, improving energy yield across production cycles and reducing cooling loads in enclosed spaces. This translates to lower utility bills and cooler plant environments, enabling longer equipment life and reduced maintenance windows. The cast iron frame and a 6-pole design provide robust mechanical integrity and stable torque under variable loads, which minimizes vibration-related wear and reduces unplanned downtime on heavy-duty fans, mixers, and conveyors. IP55 protection and IC411 insulation enable reliable operation in dusty or humid environments and under elevated ambient temperatures up to 50 °C, while withstanding up to 1000 m altitude, supporting outdoor installations and high-ceiling plant layouts. Ex-Protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC certification expand safe-use capabilities in hazardous areas, allowing compliant integration with process equipment in chemical and mining facilities when properly installed. The D-End top termination box simplifies wiring and service access, supporting faster commissioning and easier remote diagnostics. With OEM-friendly packaging and a minimum order quantity of one, the motor aligns with lean procurement strategies, reducing lead times and inventory costs while preserving compatibility with standard IEC mounting schemes and electrical interfaces. Overall, the design choices translate into predictable performance, improved uptime, and more efficient spare-part planning for industrial automation projects.

FAQs
This 160-frame cast-iron motor uses standard IEC mounting with IMB5 class mounting in most general-architecture installations. Install with the D-End top termination box facing the designated access point, ensure proper shaft alignment and torque per the IMB5 guidance, and connect cables per the motor’s electrical data. Verify bearing clearance (6209-2Z/C3) and confirm the housing remains sealed against dust and moisture to preserve IP55 protection.
Yes. The motor includes EX-Protection with Exec designation and Gas Group IIC, enabling safer operation in hazardous environments when installed with certified components and controls. Always follow local electrical codes and ensure the entire drive system is certified for the intended hazardous area class and gas group, with appropriate enclosure and wiring methods.
The motor is IE2-rated for energy efficiency. At 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is 87.2% with 75% and 50% partial-load performance around 88.0% and 86.8%, respectively. This profile supports stable energy use across varying loads typical of pumps, fans, and conveyors, contributing to reduced operating costs and cooler operation under heavy-duty conditions.
The unit provides IP55 protection, a temperature class rated for ambient up to 50 °C, and a design suitable for up to 1000 m altitude. It uses IC411 insulation with a cast-iron frame and 6 poles, ensuring robust performance in dusty, humid, or outdoor factory environments while maintaining reliability and long service life.
The motor originates from India (IN). The customs tariff number is 85015220, aligning with standard classifications for three-phase AC induction motors used in industrial drives. This helps in compliant procurement and import processes, and supports accurate BOM and regional taxation considerations in supply chains.
