torque converter

listen to the pronunciation of torque converter
Englisch - Englisch
A form of fluid coupling used to transmit torque from the power plant to the rest of the drive train
A mechanical or hydraulic device for changing the ratio of torque to speed between the input and output shafts of a mechanism
hydraulic torque multiplier that cats as a fluid coupling Typically part of the Engine to Wheels drive train usually associated wit the transmission
A unit in an automatic transmission, quite similar to the fluid coupling, that transfers engine torque to the transmission input shaft It also cushions the flow of power Unlike the fluid coupling, the torque converter can multiply engine torque This is accomplished by installing one or more stators between the torus members In the torque converter the driving torus is referred to as the "pump" and the driven torus as the "turbine " The engine drives the impeller which in turn impels fluid against the vanes of a turbine connected through transmission gears to the drive shaft of the automobile The stator redirects oil flow from the turbine to boost impeller action and multiply engine torque
Centrifugal pump, driven by an engine, that rotates in a case filled with oil (22)
Fluid coupling that acts as a clutch on an automatic transmission
The torque converter converts hydraulic pressure within an automatic transmission to mechanical torque, which drives the drive shafts and, ultimately, the wheels of your car In design, the torque converter is similar to a turbine engine Fluid is forced under pressure through small passages called fins These passages vary in size and flip flop in direction As fluid is forced through the passages (which get smaller in size) a strong, almost solid "fluid coupling" is created This is what drives the driveshafts and wheels
Connects the engine to an automatic transmission
converter for transmitting and amplifying torque (especially by hydraulic means)
A particular kind of fluid coupling with a third element added to the usual input and output turbines Called ""the stator,"" this additional element redirects the churning fluid against the output turbine, increasing torque This torque increase, however, is achieved at the expense of rpm and efficiency
A fluid coupling in an automatic transmission that transfers power from the engine to the transmission's input shaft
