Aisin has been granted a patent for a drive device that includes a fluid coupling and a rotary electrical machine. The device is designed to input torque from one side and output it from another side.

Perhaps we should start with the basics of how a converter works. It is essentially a modified fluid coupling that, like a clutch, allows the transmission to be separated from the engine, so the ...

With the growing popularity of CVT's and sequential manual transmissions, some may say that the conventional automatic may go extinct someday. Yeah right. There are still plenty of Bow Tie enthusiasts ...

Coupling is a device mainly used to connect two shafts in order to transfer power or rotation. In motion control applications, a rotor coupling is used to connect encoders to the motor shafts (rotor ...

The major components of a torque converter: The front cover and impeller are welded together. The turbine spins inside of them and is connected to the transmission-input shaft. The stator assists the ...

Torque converters appear to be a bunch of mysterious whirlwind motion inside a spinning shell that transmits an engine’s power to the transmission and rear wheels. Although they seem complex, torque ...

This white paper discusses a study by Johan Ihsan Mahmood about stator coupling model analysis. The study aim to optimize the design of stator coupling in order to increase its natural frequency ...
