The Importance Of Torque Converters In Industrial Transmissions

Torque converter - Ganzeboom

A torque converter is a doughnut-shaped internal engine component that connects your vehicle’s flexplate (the flywheel) to your transmission. It contains a series of curved blades and is filled with transmission fluid.

The three major components are the impeller, turbine, and stator. A lockup clutch is also included in some applications. When your vehicle is accelerating, the system uses torque multiplication.

Increased Torque Capacity

A torque converter is a fluid coupling that allows the engine to spin independently of the transmission. It transforms mechanical energy from the engine into rotary motion that drives the transmission. read more
