• 90% reduction in maintenance costs
• Up to 10% energy reduction vs standard gear drive system
• 100% reliability with the elimination of a power transmission system
• Industry best 7 year motor warranty and 5 year limited VFD warranty

Availability: Horsepower ratings from 15 to 95 kilowatt with mounting and shaft dimensions to fit the Series 3000 Cooling Tower.

• Motors meet Australian MEPS2 Efficiency Standards
• Motors are engineered specifically for the rigors of cooling tower applications with strategic drain requirements
• Made of high-grade FC-200 cast iron for maximum cooling and includes additional grounding plug
• Permanently sealed bearings never require lubrication and eliminate water contamination to the bearing grease
• BAC Premium Efficiency Cooling Tower Duty Motors are covered by a 3-year warranty when the motor space heater (thermistor) is wired according to the motor wiring diagram
• IP55 rating for greater protection from water and particulate contaminants

• Specially selected tubing materials ensure strength and durability
• BAC shafts are precision manufactured for vibration-free operation
• Epoxy-coated for corrosion resistance
• Journals are ground and polished for an accurate fit and easy bearing and drive component installation
• Long keyways for multiple drive combinations
• Grooved flats for positive, secure set-screw installation

Availability: Sizes from 1” to 2-15/16” diameter and 18” to 148” long. Many available with nickel plating or in stainless steel for added corrosion resistance.

• Meet AGMA and CTI standards to ensure reliability
• Constructed of high-strength cast iron for low sound, vibration-free operation
• Gear drives are available for both BAC and other manufacturers’ equipment (exact dimensional fit, no modification required)

Availability: Horsepower ratings from 5.5 to 75 kilowatt with mounting and shaft dimensions to fit virtually any make of cooling tower.

• No need for maintenance or lubrication
• Installation is quick and easy, and no special tools are needed
• Couplings absorb all types of misalignment caused by shock or vibration
• Not affected by dirt or moisture

Tech Tip: Prior to installing the couplings, it is important to clean the shaft of any lubricants or protective coatings, as well as remove any existing burrs that may damage the coupling.

• Composite shaft ships with 316 SST gear and motor couplings and hardware
• Made from high-strength composite material that allows for higher misalignment tolerance
• Corrosion resistant
• Lightweight, which reduces vibration and extends the life of the shaft
