192300230 | With brake | 6 |
20080202880 | Force transfer device - A force transfer device, comprising a hub, disposed in the drive train of a motor vehicle for torque transfer between a drive unit and a transmission, in particular a turbine shell hub of a turbine shell of a hydrodynamic machine, coupled to a damper hub with a vibration damper device connected in between. The vibration damping device is provided with a mechanical stop device, which becomes effective, as soon as a maximum design load of the vibration damping device is exceeded, and the mechanical stop device is disposed between the turbine shell hub and the damper hub. | 08-28-2008 |
20110132709 | TORQUE CONVERTER - The present torque converter includes a front cover, an impeller, a turbine, a stator, a stator brake and thrust bearings. The stator brake brakes rotation of the stator and includes a brake case coupled to the stator, a brake fixation member coupled to a stationary shaft and a brake disc unit. One of the thrust bearings, disposed axially between the impeller and the brake case, supports the both members in a rotatable state. The other bearing supports the impeller and the brake fixation member in a rotatable state, while disposed between the members and axially closer to the engine than the thrust bearing is. | 06-09-2011 |
20120043173 | THREE-PASS TORQUE CONVERTERS - A torque converter includes a cover for receiving torque from a prime mover, an impeller fixed to the cover to form a housing for the torque converter, a turbine disposed in the housing for receiving torque from the impeller, and a clutch backing plate fixed to the housing and arranged to receive a force, in an axial direction, from the turbine during operation of the torque converter. In some example embodiments, the turbine includes a thrust plate for thrust engagement with the clutch backing plate. In an example embodiment, the turbine includes a turbine shell and the thrust plate is attached to the turbine shell. | 02-23-2012 |
20130186724 | Vibration Damping Device - To provide a simply-structured vibration damping device having excellent vibration damping capacity. | 07-25-2013 |
20140353105 | DYNAMIC DAMPER DEVICE AND LOCK-UP DEVICE FOR FLUID TYPE POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE - A dynamic damper disposed between a piston of a lock-up device and a turbine hub of a fluid type power transmission device includes a pair of plates into which a torque is inputted and that is allowed to be coupled to the turbine hub, a hub flange, an inertia member fixed to the hub flange, a torsion spring, and a hysteresis torque generating mechanism. The hub flange is disposed between the pair of plates while being rotatable relative to the pair of plates. The torsion spring elastically couples the pair of plates and the hub flange. The hysteresis torque generating mechanism is disposed on an inner peripheral side of the hub flange while being disposed between the pair of plates, and is configured to generate a variable hysteresis torque between both plates and the hub flange. | 12-04-2014 |
