Feature → Business Impact → Application: The M3BP160MLB8G uses IE3 energy efficiency, which translates to lower electricity costs and cooler operation under full-load conditions; this reduces operating expenses in continuous production lines and supports sustainability goals. In practice, this means you can run conveyors and pumps more efficiently without sacrificing throughput, improving overall line efficiency. The IP55 protection provides reliable performance in dusty or damp environments, reducing unplanned downtime and safeguarding critical components in packaging, material handling, and water treatment systems. This level of protection is essential for outdoor or semi-indoor installations where washdown or spray cooling is common. The 8-pole, 4.5 kW (6 cv) rating delivers substantial torque at low speeds, enhancing start-up reliability for extruders, mixers, and lift systems, while keeping energy use predictable. The cast iron frame and 160 mm frame size offer mechanical robustness and compatibility with existing B5 mounting configurations, simplifying retrofit or upgrade projects without structural changes. The IC411 insulation class supports high-temperature operation at 40 °C ambient, ensuring sustained performance in factory floors with elevated heat. The bearing arrangement (6309/C3 with 6209/C3 NDE) provides durable support for long service life, reducing maintenance cycles and total cost of ownership. The motor’s S1 duty and single-speed design minimize complexity in control systems, delivering straightforward integration with standard VFDs and PLC-based automation. The compact 1000 mm length and 1000 mm height/width envelope simplify machine enclosure planning, while the 134 kg net weight supports safe handling during installation and service. Industry-specific context shows that frame 160, B5 mounting, and robust insulation are critical for packaging lines, plastics processing, and metalworking where downtime is costly and energy costs are under scrutiny. Overall, this motor aligns with long-term reliability targets, enabling predictable ROI through improved energy efficiency, protection, and ease of integration into existing industrial architectures.

FAQs
Yes. The M3BP160MLB8G is designed with a frame size 160 and B5 mounting, enabling straightforward retrofit into many legacy machines. Verify the exact shaft alignment and mount holes to ensure a proper fit, and plan a brief enclosure inspection to accommodate the D-End top terminal box location for minimal downtime.
The motor provides 4.5 kW (6 CV) output with an 8-pole design and S1 duty. It operates at the IE3 efficiency class and supports full-load efficiency around 80.5% at 60 Hz. It uses a voltage code S and is rated IP55, suitable for continuous operation in typical industrial loads such as conveyors and pumps.
Yes. With IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation class, the motor is suited for dusty or humid factory conditions and elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. The cast iron frame adds mechanical robustness, making it a reliable choice for demanding processes in plastics, metalworking, and packaging.
Key standards include IE3 energy efficiency and IP55 protection. The insulation and mounting configuration support dependable operation in industrial settings, while the frame and bearing arrangement are chosen to maximize longevity under S1 duty. Always verify local regulatory labeling in your region for additional compliance needs.
Consider bolt-pattern compatibility, enclosure space, and cooling provisions to minimize installation time. The motor’s robust cast iron frame and standard B5 mounting reduce maintenance frequency, while energy savings from IE3 efficiency contribute to a favorable ROI over typical equipment lifecycles. Stock in Brazil can support shorter lead times for regional projects.
