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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ever wonder how your transmission knows to shift gears? Why is it that when you stop, the engine doesn't die? We're here to show you how cars work. We recently looked at manual transmissions. This ...

With or without a clutch pedal, all cars have three elements that make up their performance combination: the car's weight, horsepower, and gear ratios. When a torque converter is added in place of a ...

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 ...
