A business of W. L. Gore & Associates, based in the Elkton, Md. area, has expanded its line of Gore Automotive Vents to include the new Series: AVS 41 venting solution, which is engineered specifically for powertrain components.
This new vent improves component reliability by equalizing pressure, preventing contamination from water, dust, dirt and other automotive fluids and simplifying design challenges, resulting in lower overall costs.
Gore Automotive Vents for power train applications are engineered to protect components such as transmissions, transfer cases, power transfer units, axles and limited slip couplings from extreme operating conditions.
The continuous airflow of the events equalizes internal pressure, which improves reliability by reducing vacuum and premature failure of housing seals.
In addition to airflow, the membrane of the venting provides resistance to contamination from dust, dirt, water spray, flooding and freezing.
Gore has annual sales of $3.2 billion. The company is based in Newark, Del., but in this region has the bulk of its operations in Cecil County, Md.
