GORE^® Automotive Vents for Powertrain

As packaging constraints push e-drivetrain components closer to the road surface, they are even more vulnerable than traditional powertrains to environmental challenges — road contaminants, extreme weather, submersion — that can threaten component reliability.

Gore’s high-performance powertrain vents provide robust and reliable protection for electrified and traditional powertrain components.

Our vents can help simplify component design and validation. They can also eliminate the need to redesign vent tube routing when using the same drive unit assembly across multiple vehicle configurations or models.

For electrified powertrain components

• e-Axles
• Oil-cooled e-motors

For traditional powertrain components

• Transfer cases
• Power transfer units
• Solid beam axles
• Rear/front drive modules

Gore Direct-Fit compact powertrain vents and traditional Tube-Mount Vents’ high performance and durable protection can help you:

Improve component reliability 
The GORE Membrane blocks contaminants that can degrade component performance, while the integrated Pre-Filter protects the Membrane from internal oil aerosols.

Preserve seal integrity 
Our breathable GORE Membrane rapidly equalizes pressures, even under extreme operating conditions, to reduce stress on seals. 

Meet global OEM standards 
Our vents’ performance complies with OEM standards for water wading and fluid containment. 

Streamline validation and reduce design cycles 
These waterproof vents can eliminate vent-related wading test “fails” and associated engineering redesign time.
