PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air breather device, capable of responding to a case having a relatively high oil level position or both normal and reverse directional rotations dispensing with processing within a reduction gear. SOLUTION: In the air breather device mounted, in the shape of a box body having at least five surfaces, on an outer wall of a housing 20 of a reduction gear 10 containing a gear train with lubricating oil sealed therein, the box body 40 has a lubricating oil inlet/outlet port and an air hole provided respectively in a low position and in a high position to communicate with the housing 20, and a top plate 41 of the box body 40 has a pressure vent 50. Since the box body can be mounted on the outer wall of the housing, a mounting surface can be selected, and processing in the mounting is also facilitated. Blowout of oil from an air vent port can be suppressed in both the normal and reverse directional rotations. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
