In general, fluid coupling type torque converter is widely known and used. Its mechanism is that the oil stirred by the impeller of rotational drive axle conveys the rotation to the impeller of the driven shaft. It uses fluid as a power transmission means.
When using fluid, you need devices to prevent temperature rise, noise sound and fluid scattering, etc., so that the eventual structure of fluid type torque converter inevitably becomes larger, heavier and more costly.
Our torque converter is aimed to utilize a machine elements of "flywheel" that effectively stabilizes the rotational mechanism with its own static inertia force. We try to clear the problems of fluid type torque converter with our simplified structure by making the final shape of torque converter smaller, lighter and less mostly. |
