Tube-Mount Vents
Compact, impact-resistant GORE® Protective Vents for Gearboxes provide high-performance venting and reliable ingress protection for electrified and traditional gearbox components in the toughest outdoor applications.
Outperforms Tubes and Rattle Caps, and Standard Membrane Vents
Responsive pressure equalization and robust contaminant protection can extend the reliability and lifespan of oil-filled drivetrains, transmissions and e-motors. To keep running, they all demand reliable, durable protection from pressure imbalances, leaks and contaminant ingress. Our tube-mount, GORE Gearbox Vents provide that protection, to extend component life.
High-Performance Venting with Gore’s Advanced Materials Technology
Improve component reliability
Our tube-mount, GORE Gearbox Vents have an integrated membrane that effectively blocks contaminants — like water, dust and dirt. They can degrade the performance of oil cooled traditional and e-motors and other e-drivetrain components as well as gearboxes.
Preserve seal integrity
At the heart of these vents is our breathable GORE Membrane. It equalizes pressures under both normal and extreme operating conditions, to avert stress on seals.
Features include:
- Impact-resistant vent cap and body for added durability
- Patented hydrophobic and oleophobic GORE membrane optimized for drivetrains, transmissions and e-motors with oil-filled components
- Integrated pre-filter adds extra protection from oil aerosols, to maintain high-performance venting and extend gearbox service-life
- Barbed shaft enables easy, secure tube-mounting, and enables shorter, more simplified tube design, routing, and installation
Tube-Mount Vents Safeguard Your Equipment
Drivetrains and oil-filled gearboxes are used in heavy-duty equipment, rail, marine and new energy applications like wind turbines. GORE Tube-Mount Vents can be used in outdoor electronic devices such as:
