Abstract
During operation of a wet-running gearbox, vapours and/or air can arise in a housing of the gearbox, which can increase an internal pressure in the housing and thus can influence the operating safety of the gearbox. The problem addressed by the invention is that of creating a gearing unit, which is distinguished by an advantageous arrangement of a venting device. To this end, a gearing unitfor a drive assembly is specified having: a gearing devicefor converting a drive torque of the drive assembly, the gearing devicehaving an input shaft, and the input shaftdefining a main axis H; a gearing housingfor accommodating the gearing device, the gearing housingdefining an accommodation spacefor the gearing device; and a venting devicefor venting the accommodation space, the venting devicebeing mounted on the gearing housing, wherein the venting deviceis arranged coaxially with the main axis H and on an axial end face of the input shaft
