456-8360: Torque Converter

The Torque Converter is a drivetrain component that transmits power from the engine to the transmission, allowing the machinery to change gears and move forward and in reverse. It operates on a hydraulic principle and consists of three main components: the impeller, turbine, and stator. The impeller is connected to the engine's crankshaft and is responsible for generating fluid flow. This flow then drives the turbine, which is connected to the transmission. The stator sits between the impeller and turbine and redirects the fluid flow to increase torque. Attributes: • Made from high-quality materials for durability • Enhances low-speed performance and allowing for movement from a standstill • Ensures smooth and efficient operation of automatic transmissions Applications: The Torque Converter is used to facilitate smooth power transmission and enhance low-speed performance in the drivetrain of automatic transmissions.
