Why Choose the TECO I2----4-8B5 IE2 AC Motor?
The TECO I2----4-8B5 is a robust 4 kW three-phase AC induction motor designed for low-speed industrial machinery, conveyors, mixers, process equipment and mechanical drive systems. Featuring an 8-pole configuration and B5 flange mounting, this motor is particularly suited to applications requiring relatively low rotational speed and direct flange connection to driven equipment.
Designed for dependable industrial service, the I2----4-8B5 forms part of TECO's IE2 industrial motor range. Its industrial construction is designed to provide reliable continuous operation while the B5 flange arrangement enables straightforward mechanical integration with compatible gearboxes, pumps and OEM machinery.
With a rated output power of 4 kW (5.5 HP) and an 8-pole design, the motor has a synchronous speed of 750 rpm at 50 Hz, with its actual shaft speed under load slightly below this figure because of normal induction motor slip. This combination of higher motor power and lower rotational speed makes the I2----4-8B5 particularly suitable for machinery requiring increased shaft torque.

Low-Speed Power for Industrial Machinery
Eight-pole induction motors provide substantially lower rotational speeds than conventional 2-pole and 4-pole motors. At a 50 Hz supply frequency, an 8-pole induction motor has a synchronous speed of 750 rpm, while its actual shaft speed under load is slightly lower because of normal induction motor slip. This makes the TECO I2----4-8B5 particularly useful for machinery requiring lower shaft speeds and increased torque.
The B5 mounting arrangement allows the motor to be connected directly to compatible driven equipment rather than relying on a conventional foot-mounted installation. Combined with its 4 kW output and 8-pole configuration, this makes the I2----4-8B5 a practical motor for gearboxes, conveyors, mixers, process machinery and other industrial equipment requiring a flange-mounted low-speed drive.
Typical Applications
- Low-speed conveyors and material handling systems.
- Industrial mixers and agitators.
- Process and production machinery.
- Gearboxes and mechanical drive systems.
- Industrial pumps requiring lower rotational speeds.
- Specialised fans and ventilation equipment.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation equipment.
