Transmission Cooling Pumps

Quiet, Efficient Flow for High-Performance Systems

Modern transmissions—whether in industrial machinery, heavy-duty vehicles, or marine propulsion systems—generate significant heat under load. Efficient cooling is essential to maintain performance, extend service life, and prevent costly downtime. Oberdorfer centrifugal pumps are the trusted choice for transmission cooling systems, offering smooth, quiet operation and reliable fluid circulation in even the most demanding environments.

Key Features of Oberdorfer Transmission Cooling Pumps

Proven Centrifugal Design

  • Features a single open vane rotating impeller that draws fluid in at the center and expels it outward using centrifugal force.
  • Delivers smooth, continuous flow—ideal for maintaining stable transmission temperatures.

Quiet, Non-Contact Operation

  • The impeller does not contact other pump components, resulting in low-noise, low-vibration performance.
  • Perfect for applications where quiet operation and mechanical simplicity are essential.

Safe System Integration

  • As a non-positive displacement pump, flow can be safely stopped by closing the discharge line without risk of overloading the motor or damaging the system.
  • No relief valve required, simplifying system design and reducing component count.

OEM-Approved Quality

  • Installed as original equipment by leading transmission manufacturers.
  • Trusted for use in industrial, automotive, and marine cooling systems.

Durable and Low Maintenance

  • Built with corrosion-resistant materials and minimal moving parts for long service life.
  • Designed for continuous-duty operation with minimal servicing required
