Title:
HYDROKINETIC TORQUE COUPLING DEVICE HAVING TURBINE-PISTON LOCKUP CLUTCH, AND RELATED METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/062846
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A hydrokinetic torque coupling device includes a casing (12) having opposite sidewalls and an outer wall extending between and connecting the opposite sidewalls, an impeller (30) coaxial aligned with the rotational axis, a piston engagement member (28) extending substantially radially inward from and non-moveable relative to the outer wall of the casing, and a turbine-piston (32) coaxially aligned with and hydrodynamically drivable by the impeller. The turbine-piston includes a turbine-piston shell (35) having a turbine- piston flange (38) with an engagement surface that is movable axially toward and away from an engagement surface of the piston engagement member (28) to position the hydrokinetic torque coupling device into and out of a lockup mode in which the turbine- piston is mechanically locked to and non-rotatable relative to the piston engagement member (28).
