Oil coolers are essential for gear drive lubrication circuits, dissipating heat to preserve oil film strength, minimize friction and wear on gears/bearings, and prevent overheating in high-torque, continuous-duty industrial drive systems.
- Air Cooled (Primary): Fin tube units like EOC, AOCS, AC / ACF / ACHM, AOCH / AOCHM / AOCHL / AOCHLM provide rugged, water-free cooling explicitly for gear drives and lubrication systems.
- Severe Duty: AOCS and AOCH family handle heavy gear drive loads with serviceable cores and OSHA guards.
- Standard Industrial: AC / ACF / ACHM and EOC for typical gear drive oil cooling in conveyors, mixers, and machine tools.
- Water Cooled (High-Capacity): Shell & tube like AB / SAE / STS / EAB / SAB / FBF for stationary gear drives with cooling water.
- Gear Drive Benefits: These series cool gear oils, prevent thermal breakdown, and maintain lubrication in high-torque drives air-cooled for flexibility in dusty or remote sites, water-cooled for maximum efficiency.

Gear Drive Oil Cooling Systems
Gear drive oil coolers control temperatures in lubrication circuits to preserve oil properties, minimize gear and bearing wear, and prevent overheating failures in high-torque industrial drive applications.
AOCS & AOCH Family (AOCH / AOCHM / AOCHL / AOCHLM): Severe-duty air-cooled fin tube coolers (up to 1,400 hp in AOCS; 100250 hp in AOCH series) with serviceable cores, OSHA guards, and field-changeable drives explicitly suited for gear drives, marine transmissions, and heavy lubrication in shock-loaded environments.
EOC / AC / ACF / ACHM: Versatile and standard industrial air-cooled units for general gear drive oil cooling ideal for medium-duty gearboxes, conveyors, mixers, and machine tool transmissions.
AB / SAE / STS / EAB / SAB / FBF: Water-cooled shell & tube options (fixed bundle, code 61 flanges on FBF) for stationary gear drives with cooling water, providing compact high-efficiency cooling for large or continuous-duty applications.
Key Benefits
- Maintains gear oil viscosity for proper film strength and torque transmission
- Reduces gear pitting, scoring, and bearing wear from heat
- Prevents varnish/sludge and extends oil change intervals
- Air-cooled severe-duty units thrive in dusty/vibrating gear drive sites
- Water-cooled options offer maximum heat rejection for fixed installations
- Computer-generated sizing for precise matching to gear drive heat loads
