Feature → Business Impact → Application: Energy efficiency is achieved through IE2 class performance, reducing running costs and heat generation across full-load and partial-load conditions. This translates to lower electricity bills for continuous-duty applications such as conveyors, pumps, and fans, while maintaining steady torque and reliability in process lines. Feature → Application: IP55 protection and IC411 insulation enable operation in dusty, damp environments common to factories and workshops, minimizing risk of moisture ingress and equipment downtime. This is ideal for packaging lines and material handling systems that operate near washdown zones or in humid environments. Feature → Application: Cast iron frame (160) and high-load bearings (6209-2Z/C3) deliver rugged durability and long service life in heavy-duty installations, including pumps and mixers that experience vibration and shock. Feature → Application: Explosion-protection (EX) with Gas Group IIC supports zone-appropriate use in hazardous environments, expanding application scope to certain chemical and petrochemical processes with proper compliance. Feature → Application: Bidirectional rotation and D-end top termination simplify installation in tight electrical spaces and retrofit projects, ensuring compatibility with existing cabling routes and control panels. Feature → Application: Operating temperature up to 50°C and altitude up to 1000 m, along with a temperature class T3, offers stable performance in moderate environmental conditions, reducing derating needs and enabling straightforward field service. Feature → Application: IMB5 IM3001 mounting, 8-pole design, and 160 frame size align with common industrial standards, enabling easy swap-in with legacy motors and straightforward alignment with existing gearboxes and pulleys. Long-term maintenance benefits include readily available spare parts (bearings, seals, and cast-iron components) and ABB-compatible accessories for quick service in maintenance windows.

FAQs
This model uses a 160 frame size with IMB5 IM3001 mounting, matching common industrial installations. The D-End top termination and the 6209-2Z/C3 bearings support straightforward retrofits with minimal alignment adjustments. For upgrades, verify bore alignment, shaft end-mloat tolerance, and compatibility with your existing gearbox and mounting studs to ensure a smooth, vibration-free integration.
The motor includes EX protection with Gas Group IIC classification, enabling operation in certain hazardous environments when installed per applicable ATEX/IECEx standards. It also features IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, which enhances reliability in dusty or damp zones. Always confirm site-specific compliance and equip the motor with approved enclosures and control gear for safe operation.
IE2 classification indicates high-efficiency operation under full and partial loads, reducing energy consumption and heat generation. For continuous-duty tasks such as conveyors or pumps, this lowers operating costs, improves motor temperature behavior, and extends bearing life by reducing thermal stress. The result is improved overall process efficiency and reduced cooling requirements in the drive system.
Direction of Rotation is specified as Both sides, meaning the motor can run in either direction. This provides flexibility in drive design and control strategy, enabling reversible conveyors or pump systems without additional gear arrangements. When wiring, ensure control circuits and contactors are configured to switch direction safely and consistently to prevent unexpected motor reversal.
Operating conditions include ambient temperatures up to 50°C, altitude up to 1000 m, and a temperature class of T3. The IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, supporting longer maintenance intervals. Maintenance should focus on bearing condition monitoring (6209-2Z/C3), inspection of the cast-iron frame integrity, and verification of the EX-protection compliance in hazardous installations, with periodic checks for alignment and vibration.
