FAQs
Yes. The motor uses a 500-frame design with welded steel construction and a D-End right-side terminal box, facilitating straightforward integration into existing 500-frame footprints. Water cooling is integral to maintaining full-load performance in high-heat environments, and the IP55 enclosure ensures protection in challenging plants. Ensure proper coolant supply and clearance for service access during installation.
The motor supports IE4 efficiency data with a full-load efficiency around 96.7% and partial-load values near 97.0%. Insulation class is IC LF with IC71W insulation, suitable for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitudes up to 1000 m. The design emphasizes reliable operation under S1 duty, 8 poles, and water-cooled cooling for sustained performance.
Yes. The IP55 protection rating provides robust ingress protection against dust and water, making it suitable for conveyors, pumps, and other process equipment in challenging facilities. The water-cooled design helps manage heat at high-load conditions, ensuring consistent torque and uptime in demanding production lines.
It features IP55 protection and IC71W insulation with IE4 efficiency, aligning with modern energy and safety expectations for industrial motors. The product hails from Finland and carries a tariff designation (85015399), which can facilitate customs clearance. Always verify regional compliance requirements for your specific installation.
Expect reduced maintenance downtime due to robust welded-steel frame and high ingress protection. The IE4 efficiency reduces energy costs over time, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership. Regular checks on coolant flow, bearing condition (6330M/C3 and 6326M/C3 bearings), and terminal box access will sustain performance and uptime in continuous-duty applications.
