STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENT

TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)

•

The torque converter is a device for transmitting the engine torque to the transmission. It transmits power

by means of oil when the lock-up is disengaged and by means of a lock-up piston when it is engaged.

•

The torque converter is of the symmetrical, three-element, single-stage, two-phase type.

•

As shown in the drawing, the symmetrical three-elements refer to three elements (components) consisting

of impeller (1), turbine (2) and stator (3) that are arranged symmetrically (figure 5).

•

"Single-stage" means that there is only one turbine as an output element; "two-phase" means that the

pump impeller acts as a torque converter when the turbine speed is comparatively low, and as a fluid
coupling when the speed is high.

Lock-up mechanism

•

"Lock-up" refers to a fixed state of the lock-up piston inside the torque converter and thus connects the

engine directly to the transmission.

•

The hydraulic pressure for the lock-up control is supplied from two circuits.

When the lock-up is disengaged (Figure 7)

•

When the lock-up is disengaged, the torque converter operating pressure is supplied from the oil passage

(A) to between the cover and the lock-up piston, and separates the lock-up piston clutch facing and
converter cover.

•

As a result, the engine drive power is transmitted from the converter cover to the pump impeller, the ATF

and to the turbine. The torque converter function as a fluid connector in this condition.

•

The torque converter operating pressure is supplied from the oil passage (A), passes through the oil

passage (B).

When the lock-up is engaged (Figure 8)

•

When the lock-up is engaged, the torque converter operating pressure is supplied from oil passage (B) to

the oil pump impeller, turbine, then to the stator side. The oil between the lock-up piston and converter
cover is drained.

•

Since the force acting on the right side of the lock-up piston is greater than force on the left side, it

connects the lock-up piston clutch facing with the converter cover, thereby increasing the transmission
efficiency.
