Electric motor 15 kW, 2930 rpm, 400 V, 1AL-160M2-2

Electric motor 1AL-160M2-2 15 kW for equipment where high-speed performance and stable operation under higher load are required

Electric motor 1AL-160M2-2 from VYBO Electric is a three-phase asynchronous electric motor designed for technologies in which the drive operates intensively, regularly and without room for instability. With an output of 15 kW, a 2-pole design and rated speed of 2930 rpm at a frequency of 50 Hz, it is a solution for high-speed industrial assemblies where a solid working foundation and correct behaviour throughout operation are required. The rated voltage of 400/690 V and connection Delta/Wye make integration into industrial electrical systems easier in both new projects and when replacing existing drives.

The frame size 160 gives this model room for use in equipment where high working pace, regular mechanical load and emphasis on operational reliability are combined. The 1AL-160M2-2 model is naturally suited to conveyor systems, fan assemblies, extraction units, industrial pumping modules, mixing technologies, packaging lines, sorting nodes, handling workstations, filling equipment and technological units where the motor operates in long cycles and must maintain stable speed without fluctuation.

Speed and power in one drive

With a motor speed of 2930 rpm and an output of 15 kW, it is expected in practice that the drive will regularly transmit higher load while also operating briskly. This design is advantageous in equipment where material is transported smoothly, air handling must maintain performance, pumping technology needs assured start-up and mixing processes require a balanced operating mode. The rated current is 26.2 A at 400 V and 15.88 A at 690 V, which gives designers an accurate basis for power supply and protection design.

The motor operates with a power factor of 0.89 and an efficiency of 89 %. In combination with its high-speed nature, this is a solution suitable where efficient energy transfer and stable operation in industrial conditions are required. The starting characteristics correspond to the power class in which a firm run-up into operating mode is expected. A starting torque ratio of 2, breakdown torque ratio of 2.2 and starting current ratio of 7.5 provide a suitable basis for technologies that are started repeatedly during a shift or operate at a higher rhythm.

Design prepared for longer operation

1AL-160M2-2 is made in an aluminium frame and operates with IP55 protection, which protects against dust and splashing water. This combination is very practical in engineering, manufacturing, technical back-up areas and technological rooms. The motor is ready for daily use where the environment places emphasis on durability and reliability. IC411 cooling supports a stable thermal regime during longer operation. Insulation class F and temperature rise B complement the structural basis suitable for regular operation under higher load.

Mechanical behaviour is supported by a vibration velocity of 2.8 mm/s in class A and noise level of 86 dB(A). The motor can rotate in either direction, which broadens design options for universal and reversing assemblies. Balancing is carried out with a half key. On both the DE and NDE sides, bearings 6309-2ZC3 are used and lubrication is provided by No. 2 lithium-based grease. In operations where the motor runs for long periods and starts larger units, this is a mechanical solution that supports stability and smooth operation.

Operating modes without unnecessary limitations

The motor is suitable for operating modes S1, S2, S3 and S4-S9. This allows its use in continuous operation as well as in equipment where the working cycle is repeated in sequences or the load changes during a shift. The service factor 1.0 corresponds to rated conditions and the type of load parabolic or linear load characteristic broadens the range of use in technologies with different mechanical resistance characteristics. In one plant this model may drive extraction, in another a circulation pump, elsewhere production transport or a mixing process. The nature of operation may change, but the motor remains suitable for a wide range of industrial tasks.

For start-up and run-up control, the motor is suitable for the DOL method. It is also suitable for control by a frequency converter or soft starter, if the specific technology or drive arrangement requires it. This flexibility is especially useful in modernised equipment and in operations where controlled start-up or adjustment of the operating mode is required.

Mounting options and the 1AL OPTIMAL platform

The motor is equipped with cable entries 2-M40X1.5, which corresponds to its power class and industrial use. The packed weight of 90 kg and the rotor inertia of 0.075 kg·m² complete the technical picture from the point of view of handling, logistics and start-up behaviour. For equipment of this size, these are data that are taken into account when planning installation and service interventions.

The 1AL OPTIMAL range is available in mounting versions IM B3, IM B35, IM B5, IM B14 and IM B34. The platform includes high compatibility, a reinforced terminal box, improved protection of the terminal box cover IP55, a steel fan cover, compatible feet, the option to replace the front cover, a carefully designed frame to increase cooling efficiency and reinforced bearings. These features make the 1AL OPTIMAL series a solution suitable for both standard and demanding operations where long-term and professional use is expected.

Electric motor 1AL-160M2-2 combines output of 15 kW, speed of 2930 rpm, IP55 protection and a design prepared for regular operation under higher load. For technologies that need a high-speed motor with a solid operating reserve, stable running and good mounting options, it is a professional choice from the VYBO Electric portfolio.
