Torque Converters for Forklift

Forklift Torque Converter - A torque converter is a fluid coupling which is used 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 like a basic fluid coupling to take the place of a mechanical clutch. This allows 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 whenever there is a substantial difference between input and output rotational speed.

The fluid coupling kind is the most popular type of torque converter used in car transmissions. In the 1920's there were pendulum-based torque or Constantinesco converter. There are other mechanical designs for continuously changeable transmissions that could multiply torque. For example, the Variomatic is one type which has a belt drive and expanding pulleys.

The 2 element drive fluid coupling cannot multiply torque. Torque converters have an component referred to as a stator. This alters the drive's characteristics all through times of high slippage and generates an increase in torque output.

Inside a torque converter, there are a minimum of three rotating elements: the turbine, to be able to drive the load, the impeller which is driven mechanically driven by the prime mover and the stator. The stator is between the impeller and the turbine so that it could alter oil flow returning from the turbine to the impeller. Usually, the design of the torque converter dictates that the stator be stopped from rotating under whatever condition and this is where the word stator starts from. In point of fact, the stator is mounted on an overrunning clutch. This particular design prevents the stator from counter rotating with respect to the prime mover while still enabling forward rotation.

In the three element design there have been modifications which have been incorporated periodically. Where there is higher than normal torque manipulation is needed, alterations to the modifications have proven to be worthy. Usually, these alterations have taken the form of various turbines and stators. Every set has been meant to produce differing amounts of torque multiplication. Some examples consist of the Dynaflow that makes use of a five element converter to be able to produce the wide range of torque multiplication considered necessary to propel a heavy vehicle.

Though it is not strictly a component of classic torque converter design, various automotive converters consist of a lock-up clutch to lessen heat and to improve cruising power transmission efficiency. The application of the clutch locks the turbine to the impeller. This causes all power transmission to be mechanical that eliminates losses associated with fluid drive.
