What are the main components of a torque converter?
1 Answers
A torque converter consists of a pump impeller, turbine, and stator. It is installed between the engine and transmission, using hydraulic fluid as the working medium to transmit torque, vary torque, change speed, and act as a clutch. The working principle of a torque converter is: the pump impeller is driven by the engine to rotate, pushing the fluid to rotate around its axis along with the impeller, giving it a certain speed and pressure. The following are the characteristics of a torque converter: 1. According to the machine's driving resistance or operational resistance, the torque converter can automatically and continuously vary speed and torque within a certain range. 2. It extends the service life of the machine. 3. It improves the machine's passing performance and comfort.
