2AD160B-B35OR2-BS01

The 2AD160B-B35OR2-BS01 belongs to the 2AD 3-Phase Induction Motors series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It is used as the prime mover in automated machine tools, packaging lines, and material-handling axes where a constant-speed, three-phase motor is driven by a matching frequency inverter. By providing rotational energy that can be precisely regulated by the drive, the unit converts electrical power into mechanical shaft output for coordinated motion in industrial automation cells.

An integrated axial blower directs cooling air along the stator to remove heat generated by copper and iron losses, allowing continuous duty without thermal derating. Mechanical installation is flexible because the housing is drilled for flange and foot mounting, so the motor can be fastened to a machine frame or a foundation plate. Incoming power conductors enter a cast-aluminum terminal box that simplifies field wiring and shields connections from contamination. For cabinet layouts that place the drive modules on the left side of the motor, the main conduit entry is oriented to the right; additionally, the box itself is positioned on the top of the frame to keep cables clear of coolant spray or floor debris.

The dimensional code B designates a medium stack length that balances torque output with overall weight, while the frame designation 160 identifies a shaft height suitable for mid-range power requirements. Electrical characteristics are governed by winding code BS, which sets the rated voltage, current, and frequency values expected by the drive controller. As an AC induction motor, torque is produced by electromagnetic induction between the stator windings and the squirrel-cage rotor, providing a simple, brushless construction well suited for continuous production environments.
