Automotive Vents
Each application has its own set of challenges, such as exposure to temperature changes, environmental conditions like water, dust, dirt and debris or even contact with automotive fluids including urea solutions, car wash fluids, and lubricants. Without the correct venting solution in place, these challenges can impact reliability and durability.
OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers worldwide turn to Gore for advanced automotive venting solutions for gas-powered, hybrid and electric vehicle applications. Our ePTFE vents rapidly equalize pressure variations caused by temperature changes while providing a reliable barrier to particulates, debris, water and automotive fluids. More reliable venting performance can reduce the need for heavier housings, seals and gaskets, so component design is less complex, manufacturing costs and time to market is reduced, and global cross-platform integration is simplified.
At Gore, we provide manufacturers with thorough partnership that includes finding the right solution to their challenges and testing our vents to ensure they meet or exceed industry standards and perform to specifications.
We can rapidly integrate a venting solution into your finished product or work with you to create a custom solution. By pairing our ePTFE venting expertise with unwavering standards for performance, we can help you to maintain the integrity of your products for the long term.
| Control Units | |
 |
Vents from Gore are used by OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers worldwide in their electronic control units. Our vents are engineered to handle severe temperature and pressure fluctuations, so they provide lasting protection in harsh automotive environments. |
| Sensors | |
|
GORE Vents for automotive sensors are performance-tested and qualified in the lab, on the vehicle and in the field. They reliably protect against failure-inducing operating conditions and contaminants, to protect sensors’ integrity and accuracy. |
| Motors | |
|
Our vents help electronic motors function reliably and durably – just as the designer intended, and just as the customer demands. These venting solutions are designed to optimize motor performance, and to minimize warranty claims. |
| Hybrid and Electric Vehicles | |
|
Hybrid and electric vehicle components are exposed to harsh operating conditions, and high operating temperatures. GORE Vents address those challenges effectively, to enhance component reliability and service-life. |
| Headlamps | |
 |
Innovative GORE Vents effectively manage condensation while protecting headlamp assemblies from damaging pressure imbalances, water and environmental contaminants in all regions of the world. |
| Rear Lamps | |
 |
GORE® Automotive Vents for rear lamps continuously equalize pressures, protect against ingress of water and contaminants and minimize condensation events, to help keep both clear and colored lenses looking good. |
| Accessory Lamps | |
 |
Gore’s smallest-footprint automotive vents are a great fit for today’s narrow, extremely space-limited exterior accessory lighting that needs reliable pressure equalization and protection from water and contaminants. |
| Drivetrain and Driveline Components | |
|
GORE Vents can solve the challenges inherent in designing, routing and installing venting for axles, limited slip couplings, power transfer units and transfer cases across global platforms. |
| Fluid Reservoirs | |
|
Automotive fluid reservoir vents from Gore effectively manage pressure differentials, and resist contamination that can degrade reservoir performance. |
| Electronic Power Steering Systems | |
|
GORE Vents keep steering system components performing more reliably over time, because they provide rapid pressure equalization and durable ingress protection in the harshest environments. |
