Electric pumps

Bühler Motor develops and produces:

  • Electric gear oil pumps (bFlow O)
  • Electric auxiliary water pumps (bFlow C)
  • Drives for electric vacuum pumps
  • AdBlue® pumps as solutions to reduce emissions

Electric gear oil pumps bFlow O and oil pump drives bDrive

Our family of electric gear oil pumps offers new functions in gears and enables efficiency to be dramatically increased, thus cutting C02 emissions. They provide special solutions for start/stop, coasting and electric driving, for specific lubrication and cooling, dry sump solutions and additional functions such as actuation of parking locks.

Application: DCT, AT, CVT, AMT, BEV/hybrid transmissions (DHT)
