Torque Converter for Forklift
Torque Converter for Forklifts - A torque converter is actually a fluid coupling which is utilized in order to transfer rotating power from a prime mover, which is an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load. The torque converter is similar to a basic fluid coupling to take the place of a mechanized clutch. This enables the load to be separated from the main power source. A torque converter can provide the equivalent of a reduction gear by being able to multiply torque when there is a significant difference between input and output rotational speed.
The most common kind of torque converter used in automobile transmissions is the fluid coupling unit. During the 1920s there was also the Constantinesco or also known as pendulum-based torque converter. There are various mechanical designs for constantly changeable transmissions which could multiply torque. Like for example, the Variomatic is one type which has expanding pulleys and a belt drive.
The 2 element drive fluid coupling is incapable of multiplying torque. Torque converters have an component called a stator. This changes the drive's characteristics during times of high slippage and generates an increase in torque output.
Inside a torque converter, there are at least of three rotating elements: the turbine, to drive the load, the impeller which is driven mechanically driven by the prime mover and the stator. The stator 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 stopped 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 allowing forward rotation.
In the three element design there have been alterations which have been integrated periodically. Where there is higher than normal torque manipulation is required, alterations to the modifications have proven to be worthy. Most commonly, these alterations have taken the form of several stators and turbines. Each and every set has been meant to generate differing amounts of torque multiplication. Several instances consist of the Dynaflow that uses a five element converter to be able to produce the wide range of torque multiplication needed to propel a heavy vehicle.
Various car converters comprise a lock-up clutch to be able to reduce heat and to improve the cruising power and transmission effectiveness, even though it is not strictly part 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 associated with fluid drive.
