Torque Converter
SMCS - 3101

The torque converter connects the engine to the planetary transmission through the main drive shaft. The connection
between the engine and the transmission is a hydraulic connection. There is no direct mechanical connection between
the engine and the transmission.

The torque converter uses oil to multiply the torque to the transmission. When the machine works against a low load,
the torque multiplication is low. When the machine works against a high load, the torque multiplication is higher. A
higher torque can then be sent to the transmission during high load conditions. During no load conditions, the torque
converter cannot multiply the torque from the engine.

The major components of the torque converter are the rotating housing (1), impeller (8), turbine (9), and stator (2).

Rotating housing (1) is connected to the engine flywheel by splines. Impeller (8) and pump drive gear (3) are
connected to rotating housing (1). Turbine (9) is connected to output shaft (5). Stator (2) is connected to carrier (7).
The stator cannot turn.

Oil from the manifold group enters the torque converter through inlet port (6) in carrier (7). Oil is directed to the inlet
port by a passage in the hub to impeller (8).

Impeller (8) turns with rotating housing (1) at engine speed.

Rotation of rotating housing (1) throws the oil toward the outside of impeller (8). The oil is thrown around the inside
of the converter housing, and against the blades of turbine (9). The oil that hits the turbine blades causes turbine (9)
and output shaft (5) to turn. This sends torque through the main drive shaft to the input shaft of the transmission.

After the oil hits the turbine blades, the oil goes toward the outside of turbine (9). As the oil goes from the turbine, the
oil moves in a direction opposite the direction of the impeller rotation. Stator (2) causes the oil to change direction.
The oil then goes back to impeller (8) in the direction of rotation.

The force of the oil from the stator can now add to the torque output from the engine to the impeller. This extra force
can give an increase to the torque output of the engine to the turbine. A greater difference between the speed of the
impeller and the turbine speed causes an increased force of the oil from the stator.

The load on the machine changes the speed of the turbine. A higher load causes a larger difference between the speed
of the impeller and the turbine speed. The particular load on the machine controls the amount of torque multiplication
that can be added by the force of the oil from the stator.

Oil from outlet port (4) passes through the torque converter outlet relief valve. The oil then goes to the power train oil
cooler. Oil from the power train oil cooler then goes to the steering differential, the brake, the planetary and the brake
for lubrication.
