What is the Principle of an AT Transmission?
1 Answers
AT transmission works by having two turbine blades assembled in a space filled with hydraulic oil, connected to the power input and output ends respectively. The turbine at the power input end generates a strong vortex to drive the turbine at the output end, thereby achieving power transmission. More details are as follows: 1. The core of an automatic transmission lies in achieving automatic gear shifting. Automatic gear shifting means that during driving, the driver presses the accelerator pedal as needed, and the automatic transmission can automatically shift into different gears based on engine load and the vehicle's operating conditions. 2. The advantages of AT include: using a clutch for shifting, enabling uninterrupted power shifting with smooth transitions; employing a torque converter, which can cushion engine shocks and vibrations, providing good ride comfort; due to the use of a torque converter, the vehicle has excellent low-speed driving capability; and it is widely applicable to various vehicle models.
