Abstract
A gearing unit for a drive assembly includes a gearing device for converting a drive torque of the drive assembly. The gearing device includes an input shaft, and the input shaft defines a main axis. A gearing housing defines an accommodation space and houses the gearing device in the accommodation space. A venting device is mounted on the gearing housing and extends through the gearing housing to the accommodation space. The venting device is arranged coaxially with the main axis and on an axial end face of the input shaft.

A gearing unit for a drive assembly, comprising:
- a gearing housing defining an accommodation space;
- a gearing device housed in the gearing housing and configured to convert a drive torque of the drive assembly, the gearing device including a mounting opening and an input shaft mounted within the mounting opening and defining a main axis;
- a closure cover received in and closing the mounting opening, the closure cover being sealed to the gearing device via a sealing device arranged radially between the closure cover and the gearing device in the mounting opening;
- a venting device integrated with the closure cover and extending through the closure cover to the accommodation space;
- wherein the venting device is arranged coaxially to the main axis and on an axial end side of the input shaft.
A gearing unit, comprising:
- a housing including a first housing component and a second housing component connected to the first housing component, the first and second housing components defining an accommodation space therebetween;
- the second housing component including a mounting opening extending circumferentially about a main axis and through the second housing component to the accommodation space;
- a closure cover received in and closing the mounting opening, the closure cover being sealed to the second housing via a sealing device arranged radially between the closure cover and the second housing in the mounting opening;
- and
- a venting device integrated into the closure cover and extending axially through the closure cover, the venting device arranged coaxially to the main axis;
- wherein the accommodation space is in fluid communication with an environment external to the housing via the venting device.
