  2. Torque converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

    The classic torque converter design dictates that the stator be prevented from rotating under any condition, hence the term stator. In practice, however, the stator is mounted on an overrunning clutch , which prevents the stator from counter-rotating with respect to the prime mover but allows forward rotation.

  3. Blocked rotor test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocked_rotor_test

    It is also known as short-circuit test (because it is the mechanical analogy of a transformer short-circuit test), [1] locked rotor test or stalled torque test. [2] From this test, short-circuit current at normal voltage , power factor on short circuit, total leakage reactance , and starting torque of the motor can be found.

  4. Stall (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(engine)

    For example, if the selector is in the 'D' position and the car is moving backwards, (on a steep enough hill to overcome the torque from the torque converter) the engine will stall, because the engine is forced to turn in the opposite direction to what it is actually doing. This is because, hypothetically, if the car is rolling backward fast ...

  5. Turboglide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboglide

    The basis of the Turboglide's unique abilities was its five-element torque converter.Most automatic transmissions have a three-element torque converter, consisting of an impeller (an engine-driven pump); a turbine that rotates with the flywheel; a transmission-driven turbine that receives the energy of the oil propelled by the impeller, and a stator that redirects the recirculating oil so that ...

  6. Volkswagen 01M transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_01M_transmission

    Some areas of failure on this transmission include leaks in the oil filling tube by removing the cap incorrectly, damage to plastic internals due to fluid over-temperature conditions, leaks in the transmission oil cooler, internal fluid pressure leaks from torn piston diaphragms, worn piston bores for solenoids in aluminum valve body, and the resulting worn clutches and bands.

  7. Stator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stator

    In a turbine, the stator element contains blades or ports used to redirect the flow of fluid. Such devices include the steam turbine and the torque converter. In a mechanical siren, the stator contains one or more rows of holes that admit air into the rotor; by controlling the flow of air through the holes, the sound of the siren can be altered.

  8. Direct torque control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_torque_control

    Direct torque control (DTC) is one method used in variable-frequency drives to control the torque (and thus finally the speed) of three-phase AC electric motors. This involves calculating an estimate of the motor's magnetic flux and torque based on the measured voltage and current of the motor.

  9. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    The rotor however has no magnets or coils attached. It is a solid salient-pole rotor (having projecting magnetic poles) made of soft magnetic material, typically laminated steel. When power is applied to a stator winding, the rotor's magnetic reluctance creates a force that attempts to align a rotor pole with the nearest stator pole.
