Transmission Oil Filters--innovative solutions to meet complex requirements

Engine speed is converted into road speed in a controlled way by the transmission. As modern transmissions are required to process greater torque, operate smoothly and function more reliably, they are more demanding with regard to oil purity. Transmission fluid filters must therefore meet exacting standards. Our transmission filters offer individual state-of-the-art solutions to meet the complex requirements of widely differing transmission concepts.

Basically, two types of transmission oil filters are available - suction and pressure filters.

Suction filters are used in automatic transmissions, and are fitted as compact flatbed filters located in the sump of the transmission. The oil is sucked through the filter by the oil pump being cleansed during this process. Our transmission filters offer optimum protection against engine wear by employing modern, efficient filter media in a compact design. Adapted to meet the specific requirements, taking into account for example installation space, oil purity and low differential pressures, the optimum filter medium is selected, in filter bag or pleated form.

Pressure filters are used to complement suction filters in innovative concepts such as CVT or twin-clutch gearboxes and in manual transmissions where a higher standard of oil purity is required. Our transmission oil filters contain innovative, very fine filter media which provides optimum oil purity and thus maximum protection against wear of the sensitive gearbox components. Our transmission filters for use on the pressurized side of the oil circuit are available as filter elements or as spin-on filters which are screwed on to the transmission.
