2.3 Lifting
2.4 Machine weight
AC-INDUCTION LOW-INERTIA MOTORS
Only the main lifting lugs or eyebolts of the motor
should be used to lift the motor. They must not
be used to lift the motor when it is attached to
other equipment.
Lifting lugs for auxiliaries (e.g., brakes, separate
cooling fans) or terminal boxes must not be used
to lift the motor.
Motors with the same frame may have a different
center of gravity because of different outputs,
mounting arrangements and auxiliary equipment.
The total weight of the machine can vary within the
same frame size (center height) depending on the
output, mounting arrangement and auxiliaries.
The following table shows the estimated weights
for the most basic versions of the machines as
a function of frame size and length.
The actual weight of all of ABB's motors is shown

Damaged lifting lugs must not be used. Check
that eyebolts or integrated lifting lugs are
undamaged before lifting.
Ensure that proper lifting equipment is used and
that the sizes of the hooks are suitable for the
lifting lugs.
Care must be taken not to damage auxiliary
equipment and cables connected to the motor.
