HYDROSTATIC TORQUE CONVERTER AND TORQUE AMPLIFIER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/061630
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An example includes a hydraulically controllable coupling to couple a rotating input and to an output to rotate, or to decouple the input and the output, with coupling and decoupling modes selected by switching a hydraulic device such as a vane pump between a pumping mode and a mode in which it does not pump. In an example, the system cooperates with a transmission to increase the number of possible gear ratios in some examples.
