Process Performance Aluminium Motors
ABB Motors

Made for demanding industrial environments, ABB’s Process Performance aluminium motors are engineered to offer outstanding energy efficiency and operational durability. Their compact aluminium frames provide superior thermal performance and corrosion resistance, making them well-suited for sectors such as chemical processing, water treatment, packaging, and HVAC systems. Featuring efficiency classes from IE3 to IE5, these motors are designed for both direct-on-line and variable-speed drive applications, helping to cut energy costs and carbon footprint. With ABB’s modular design approach, they offer easy customisation, fast delivery, and full compliance with global energy and safety standards.
Features
Built with an aluminium frame, these motors feature precision steel shafts, robust bearings, and IP55 protection (IP66 optional) to withstand harsh conditions. Standard features include class‑F insulation, built-in PTC thermistors for thermal protection, and a durable C3 paint finish for corrosion resistance. ABB’s modular terminal boxes can be positioned for ease of cabling, and the motors are tested for uninterrupted use with variable-speed drives. With the ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor option, these motors can deliver real-time monitoring to enable proactive maintenance and minimise downtime.
