coupling torque
1Torque converter — A torque converter is a modified form of fluid coupling that is used to transfer rotating power from a , such as an internal combustion engine or electric motor, to a rotating driven load. Like a basic fluid coupling, the torque converter… …
2Coupling — This article is about a mechanical connection between two objects. For other uses, see Coupling (disambiguation). Rotating coupling A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power.… …
3torque converter — A unit in an automatic transmission quite similar to the fluid coupling that transfers engine torque to the transmissioninput shaft. It also cushions the flow of power. Unlike the fluid coupling the torque converter can multiply engine torque.… …
4Torque wrench — A torque wrench is a tool used to precisely set the torque of a fastener such as a nut or bolt. It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with special internal mechanisms. A torque wrench is used where the tightness of screws and bolts is… …
5Torque limiter — A torque limiter is an automatic device that protects mechanical equipment, or its work, from damage by mechanical overload. A torque limiter may limit the torque by slipping (as in a friction plate slip clutch), or uncouple the load entirely (as …
6Torque tube — A torque tube system is an automobile driveshaft technology, used in cars with a front engine and rear drive. It is not as widespread as the Hotchkiss drive, but is still occasionally used to this day. The torque that is referred to in the name… …
7torque converter — Mach. a fluid coupling in which three or more rotors are used, one of which can be checked so that output torque is augmented and output speed diminished. [1925 30] * * * …
8coupling — /kup ling/, n. 1. the act of a person or thing that couples. 2. Mach. a. a device for joining two rotating shafts semipermanently at their ends so as to transmit torque from one to the other. Cf. clutch1 (def. 12a). b. a part with an inside… …
9coupling — cou•pling [[t]ˈkʌp lɪŋ[/t]] n. 1) the act of one that couples 2) mac a device for joining two rotating shafts semipermanently at their ends so as to transmit torque from one to the other 3) rai coupler 3) 4) elm a) the association of two circuits …
10coupling point — This refers to the point at which both the pump and the turbine in a torque converter are travelling at the same speed, the drive is almost direct at this point …
