Hey there! As a supplier of the 722.8 Filter, I often get asked about what materials are used to make this essential component. So, I thought I'd take some time to break it down for you all.
First off, let's talk about the outer housing of the 722.8 Filter. It's typically made from high - quality plastic. This plastic is chosen for several reasons. For one, it's lightweight, which is a big plus when it comes to the overall weight of the vehicle's transmission system. A lighter filter means less strain on other components and potentially better fuel efficiency. Also, plastic is corrosion - resistant. Transmission fluid can be quite harsh over time, and a plastic housing can withstand the chemical reactions without degrading easily. This helps to ensure the longevity of the filter and protects it from the elements under the hood.
Now, onto the filter media. This is the heart of the 722.8 Filter, where all the real work of filtering happens. The filter media is usually a type of synthetic fiber. These synthetic fibers are engineered to have very small pores. These pores are sized just right to trap contaminants like dirt, metal shavings, and other debris that can be present in the transmission fluid.
The synthetic fiber media has excellent filtration efficiency. It can capture even the tiniest particles, preventing them from circulating through the transmission and causing damage. And it's not just about capturing particles; it also needs to allow the transmission fluid to flow through smoothly. The design of these synthetic fibers is optimized to balance filtration and fluid flow. If the flow is restricted too much, it can put extra stress on the transmission pump, leading to potential problems.
Another important material used in the 722.8 Filter is the rubber seals. These seals are crucial for preventing leaks. They're made from a special type of rubber that's resistant to the high temperatures and the chemicals in the transmission fluid. The seals are placed at key points, like where the filter attaches to the transmission housing. A good seal ensures that all the fluid passes through the filter media and doesn't bypass it, which would render the filtration process ineffective.
When it comes to the end caps of the filter, they're often made from a combination of plastic and metal. The plastic part provides a lightweight and cost - effective solution, while the metal inserts add strength and stability. The end caps hold the filter media in place and help to direct the flow of the transmission fluid through the filter.
Now, I know you might be thinking about other related filters. For example, we also have the Inner Filter Fit W/O Start - Stop 481482H000. This filter has similar materials in its construction but is designed specifically for vehicles without start - stop systems. The filter media might be slightly different in terms of its pore size and filtration capacity to meet the specific needs of these vehicles.
Then there's the Inner Filter 09A Transmission. This one is tailored for 09A transmissions. The materials used here are carefully selected to work in harmony with the unique characteristics of these transmissions, such as the fluid flow rates and the types of contaminants that are more likely to be present.
And let's not forget the M91A - 0001 - AM Inner Filter 25420 - RXH - 003 RE4 CP1 M91A Auto Transmission New Condition. This filter is in top - notch condition and uses high - grade materials to ensure optimal performance in M91A auto transmissions.
