SEW‑EURODRIVE, now offers external oil cooling and supply systems for heavy industry gearing with lead times as short as six weeks. Built and configured at SEW-EURODRIVE Heavy Industry Gearing (HIG) in Wellford, South Carolina, these systems are engineered to support today’s torque-dense gearboxes—where thermal limitations often determine gearbox size. 

Previously available only through longer-lead global channels, these systems are now stocked and assembled in the U.S., eliminating delivery bottlenecks. 

Never Lose Your Cool: Precision Cooling for Critical Applications 

As HIG drive systems grow more compact and power-dense, thermal management becomes essential. SEW‑EURODRIVE’s external lubrication systems address that challenge, with configurations that ensure oil is delivered, circulated, and cooled exactly as your application demands. 

Available types include: 

• Oil-to-air cooling systems (OAP1) 
• Oil-to-water cooling systems (OWP1) 
• Pressure lubrication systems without cooling (ONP1) 

Each is sized using SEW‑EURODRIVE’s thermal validation tools and can be gearbox-mounted or skid mounted for flexibility in layout and maintenance access. 

What’s New 

• Assembled in the U.S., reducing delivery time from 14–20 weeks to as little as 6 weeks • Standard options in stock and ready to configure 
• Designed to support thicker startup oil viscosities up to 5,000 cSt 

Built for Your Application 

SEW‑EURODRIVE’s Oil Cooling and Supply Systems can be tailored to your specific requirements and include modular, sensor-ready features to support system reliability and monitoring. Standard stocked options include: 

• Duplex oil filters (25µm) — allows filter change during operation 
• Electro-optical contamination pop-up indicator 
• Oil manometer gauge 
• Oil thermometer gauge 
• Oil pressure switch 
• Oil temperature switch — all to monitor the gearbox oil sump in real time 

“With local assembly and standard stocked components, we can now deliver complete external thermal management solutions in six weeks—helping our customers get their HIG systems up and running faster and more reliably.”
