Compact air-cooled oil coolers target low-to-medium flow lubrication returns in gearboxes, efficiently removing heat to preserve gear oil properties, reduce friction and wear on gears/bearings, and prevent overheating in industrial drive systems.
- Motor-Mounted Air Cooled: BM Series mounts directly to TEFC electric motors (NEMA 48–365 frames), providing integrated gear box oil cooling with minimal footprint and simple setup.
- Low-Flow Design: Handles typical gear box lube returns with NPT/SAE connections and 300°F / 300 PSI ratings — ideal for standard gearboxes.
- Standalone Electric Fan: BME Series uses compact 1/40 HP 115V motors in single or two-pass configurations — perfect for gear box oil cooling without direct motor mounting.
- Applications: Gearbox bearings, speed reducers, conveyor drives, mixers, winders, and machine tool transmissions.
- Gear Box Benefits: These series prevent thermal degradation of gear oil, maintain lubrication film strength, and extend gearbox life without requiring oversized main-system coolers.

Gear Box Oil Cooling Systems
Gear box oil coolers target low-to-medium flow lubrication returns from gears and bearings, removing heat to preserve oil film strength, minimize friction/wear, and prevent overheating failures in industrial gearboxes and transmissions.
BM Series: — Motor-mounted air-cooled coolers that attach directly to TEFC electric motors (NEMA 48–365 frames) — providing integrated, space-efficient gear box oil cooling for motor-driven gearboxes, speed reducers, and conveyor drives.
BME Series: — Compact standalone coolers with small 1/40 HP 115V electric fans in single or two-pass designs — ideal for gear box oil cooling in setups without direct motor mounting, such as remote gearboxes or retrofit applications.
Key Benefits
- Efficient cooling of low-flow gear box oil returns (typical <5–15 GPM)
- Maintains lubricant viscosity for proper gear meshing and bearing film thickness
- Reduces gear pitting, scoring, and bearing wear from heat
- Compact footprint fits inside enclosures or on gearbox skids
- 300°F / 300 PSI ratings handle standard gear oil conditions
- Economical, low-maintenance solution for gearbox-specific cooling
