Torque Converters for Forklift

Forklift Torque Converter - A torque converter is actually a fluid coupling which is utilized in order to transfer rotating power from a prime mover, that is an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load. The torque converter is like a basic fluid coupling to take the place of a mechanical clutch. This enables the load to be separated from the main power source. A torque converter could offer the equivalent of a reduction gear by being able to multiply torque whenever there is a substantial difference between output and input rotational speed.

The most common kind of torque converter utilized in automobile transmissions is the fluid coupling kind. In the 1920s there was likewise the Constantinesco or otherwise known as pendulum-based torque converter. There are other mechanical designs used for constantly variable transmissions which could multiply torque. Like for instance, the Variomatic is one type which has a belt drive and expanding pulleys.

The 2 element drive fluid coupling cannot multiply torque. Torque converters have an element referred to as a stator. This changes the drive's characteristics during occasions of high slippage and produces an increase in torque output.

There are a at least three rotating components within a torque converter: the turbine, which drives the load, the impeller, that is mechanically driven by the prime mover and the stator, that is between the turbine and the impeller so that it could change oil flow returning from the turbine to the impeller. Traditionally, the design of the torque converter dictates that the stator be prevented from rotating under whichever situation and this is where the term stator starts from. In fact, the stator is mounted on an overrunning clutch. This particular design stops the stator from counter rotating with respect to the prime mover while still enabling forward rotation.

Changes to the basic three element design have been integrated periodically. These changes have proven worthy particularly in application where higher than normal torque multiplication is needed. More often than not, these alterations have taken the form of various turbines and stators. Each and every set has been designed to produce differing amounts of torque multiplication. Several examples consist of the Dynaflow that utilizes a five element converter so as to produce the wide range of torque multiplication needed to propel a heavy vehicle.

Different automobile converters include a lock-up clutch so as to lessen heat and to be able to improve the cruising power and transmission efficiency, even though it is not strictly component of the torque converter design. The application of the clutch locks the impeller to the turbine. This causes all power transmission to be mechanical which eliminates losses related with fluid drive.
