GORE® Protective Vents for Gearboxes
GORE® Protective Vents for Gearboxes provide reliable pressure equalization and contaminant protection for oil-filled drivetrains.
Engineered to Enhance the Longevity of Critical Components
GORE Protective Vents for Gearboxes provide high performance and durable protection in a compact design for electrified and traditional gearbox components. They can preserve seal integrity and improve component reliability in rail, marine, agricultural, industrial, submersible and new energy applications.
Superior Protection to Extend Component Life
Effectively block contaminants that can degrade gears or cause electric arcs in e-motors: Water, dust and dirt — which degrade traditional vent performance — can’t penetrate Gore’s breathable barrier membrane.
Protect seals from stress/failures: Our gearbox vent has bi-directional breathability. Even during extreme temperature or altitude changes, it continuously equalizes overpressures and vacuums, to preserve seals and protect against leakage or contaminant ingress.
Prevent oil spills & leaks; limit damage & clogs from oil aerosols: Unlike open tubes/rattle caps, GORE Gearbox Vents are leak-proof. And they trap aerosols that rapidly compromise ordinary membrane vents.
Extend gearbox lifespan: OEMs worldwide trust the proven performance of these GORE® Vents, with their exceptional chemical, mechanical and temperature resistance over time, and rating to IP68 and IP69k.
Enable lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): These tube-mount gearbox vents can streamline engineering design as well as purchasing, inventory and installation, for lower TCO.
Designed to Withstand the Toughest Environments
GORE® Gearbox Vents provide enduring performance, because they’re designed to withstand the harsh conditions of rail and marine transport, or agricultural and heavy industries. You’ll also find our rugged gearbox vents in “can’t fail” applications like submersibles or wind turbines.
