Title:
TORQUE CONVERTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/021243
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The size of a stator brake can be reduced while maintaining the performance of a torque converter. This torque converter is equipped with 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) that is connected to the stator, a brake securing member (38) that is connected to a stationary shaft (33), and a brake disk part (36), and regulates rotations of the stator (7). One of the thrust bearings (43) is provided in the axial direction between the impeller (5) and the brake case (35), and rotatably supports both. The other thrust bearing (50) is provided in the axial direction between the impeller (5) and the brake securing member (38) on the side closer to an engine than the thrust bearing (43) in the axial direction, and rotatably supports the impeller (5) and the brake securing member (38).
