To reduce the size of a stator brake while maintaining the performance of a torque converter.
The torque converter includes a front cover 4, an impeller 5, a turbine 6, a stator 7, a stator brake 8, and thrust bearings 43, 50. The stator brake 8 comprises a brake case 35 connected to the stator, and a brake securing member 38 connected to a stationary shaft 33, and a brake disk section 36, and regulates rotations of the stator 7. One thrust bearing 43 is arranged between the impeller 5 and the brake case 35 in the axial direction, and rotatably supports both. The other thrust bearing 50 is arranged in the axial direction between the impeller 5 and the brake securing member 38 on the side closer to the engine than the thrust bearing 43 in the axial direction so as to rotatably support the impeller 5 and the brake securing member 38.
