IE2 efficiency with a 6-pole design minimizes energy consumption in continuous-duty applications, lowering operating costs for conveyors and pumps while maintaining steady torque and performance. This translates to cooler motor operation and extended bearing life, reducing maintenance cycles in harsh factory floors and dusty environments. IP55 protection paired with IC411 insulation enhances reliability where dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations are common, enabling uninterrupted operation in packaging lines and processing plants. The cast-iron frame (160) and bearings (6209-2Z/C3) deliver rugged durability and steady alignment, supporting longer service intervals and reduced spare-part costs in high-load drives. EX protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC readiness enable safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres, expanding application scope in chemical processing and other hazardous zones. The D-End top terminator box and IMB5 IM3001 mounting facilitate quick, plug-and-play installation with standard wiring practices, minimizing downtime during retrofit projects. Continuous-duty S1 operation and a 160 frame size ensure compatibility with existing motor control centers and VFD configurations, while the option for non-sparking IE2 performance supports compliant operation in zones with strict safety requirements. Overall, the design reduces lifecycle costs, improves uptime, and supports scalable automation deployments across multiple industries.

FAQs
This motor uses a standard 160 frame with IMB5 mounting and a D-End top terminator box, simplifying retrofit and new installs. It aligns with common IEC motor control centers and VFDs, reducing wiring complexity and enabling straightforward alignment with existing drives, cabinets, and motor starters.
The motor delivers IE2 efficiency at full load with a 6-pole design and a 160 frame, providing robust torque for steady operation. It features IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and EX protection for hazardous environments (Gas Group IIC), making it suitable for dusty, humid, and potentially explosive settings.
Yes. The motor is equipped with EX protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC readiness, allowing operation in hazardous locations. Its IC411 insulation class and IP55 rating further support safe operation in challenging environments such as chemical processing and heavy industry facilities.
Key considerations include confirming frame size 160 for mounting compatibility, using the D-End top terminator box for wiring access, and selecting IMB5 IM3001 alignment to ensure proper bearing seating. Ensure adequate space for cooling and consider ambient temperature up to 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m for continuous operation.
Non-sparking IE2 efficiency reduces energy costs and heat generation, extending bearing life and reducing maintenance frequency. Cast-iron construction and high-quality bearings support longer service intervals, while EX protection minimizes hazard-related downtime. Overall, this motor offers lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime for automated lines and material handling systems.
