What is the Function of a Torque Converter?

[McAubree]

The functions of a torque converter are as follows: 1. Torque transmission: The engine's torque is transmitted through the driving element of the torque converter, then via ATF to the driven element of the torque converter, and finally to the transmission. 2. Continuously variable transmission: The torque converter can achieve stepless changes in speed and torque within a certain range. 3. Automatic clutch: Since the torque converter uses ATF to transmit power, the engine will not stall when the brake pedal is pressed, which is equivalent to clutch disengagement. Below is a related introduction to torque converters: 1. Working principle: A torque converter has three working wheels, namely the impeller, turbine, and stator. The structure of the impeller and turbine is basically the same as that of a fluid coupling. 2. Function: A torque converter is a component that transmits power by means of the high-speed movement of liquid.
