Breather

In mechanical and fluid systems, a breather serves the purpose of equalizing pressure differentials within enclosed spaces, such as containers or system housings. Its primary function is to enable the free movement of air into or out of the enclosed space while preventing the entry of contaminants like dust, dirt, moisture, and particles. Gearboxes and Transmissions: They help maintain optimal pressure levels within gearboxes and transmissions, preventing pressure buildup due to temperature changes or fluid expansion that could lead to seal failure or leaks. Hydraulic Systems: In hydraulic systems, breathers regulate pressure fluctuations caused by temperature changes or fluid movement, avoiding the formation of vacuum or excess pressure that might damage seals or affect system performance.
