111-7906: Plate Drive

A powertrain torque converter plate drive, also known as a torque converter clutch or lock-up clutch, is a component found in automatic transmissions. It plays a crucial role in the power transfer between the engine and the transmission, specifically within the torque converter. Attributes: Plate drive improves the efficiency of power transfer from the engine to the transmission. Designed to dissipate heat effectively. Applications: A powertrain torque converter plate drive is a critical component within an automatic transmission system. By providing a direct mechanical link between the engine and the transmission, it improves power transfer efficiency and enhances overall performance. The lock-up clutch function helps minimize power loss, improve fuel economy, and optimize the transmission's operation during specific driving conditions and it is widely used in Cat® 414E, 416, 416C, 416D, 416E, 416F, 420, 420D, 420E, 420F, 422E, 422F, 424, 424B, 424D, 426C, 427, 427F, 428, 428C, 428D, 428E, 428F, 430, 430D, 430E, 430F, 432, 432D, 432E, 432F, 434, 434E, 434F, 436C, 438C, 438D, 440, 442D, 442E, 442F, 444, 444E, 444F, 450, 450E and 450F Backhoe, 440 Track Type Tractor, C32 Generator Set, OEMTP, OEMTPG115 and TR13 Powertrain, TH220B, TH330B, TH340B, TH350B, TH355B, TH360B, TH460B, TH560B and TH580B Material Handler, TH336, TH337, TH406, TH407, TH414, TH417 and TH514 Telehandler (Jlg).
