The Bruchsal, German-based firm offers engineered methods for industries together with automotive, meals and beverage, prescription drugs, mining, metal, logistics, power, and extra.
New merchandise preserve methods keep cool for crucial purposes
As HIG drive methods develop extra compact and power-dense, thermal administration turns into important, stated SEW‑EURODRIVE. It claimed that its exterior lubrication methods tackle that problem, with configurations that guarantee oil is delivered, circulated, and cooled as wanted for industrial purposes.
The corporate stated accessible methods embrace oil-to-air cooling (OAP1), oil-to-water cooling (OWP1), and strain lubrication methods with out cooling (ONP1). Every kind is sized utilizing SEW‑EURODRIVE’s thermal validation instruments and may be gearbox-mounted or skid-mounted for flexibility in structure and upkeep entry.
As well as, the brand new exterior lubrication methods are designed to help thicker startup oil viscosities as much as 5,000 cSt, stated SEW-EURODRIVE.
SEW-EURODRIVE gives modular and commonplace choices

Normal stocked choices embrace:
• Duplex oil filters (25µm) — permits filter change throughout operation
• Electro-optical contamination pop-up indicator
• Oil manometer gauge
• Oil thermometer gauge
• Oil strain swap
• Oil temperature swap — all to observe the gearbox oil sump in actual time
These commonplace choices are in inventory and able to configure, in line with SEW-EURODRIVE. As a result of these methods are assembled within the U.S., supply occasions have been diminished from 14 to twenty weeks to as little as six weeks, the firm stated.
