Torque converter

These compact and robust torque converters have a long lifespan, even when operating in harsh environments, with the capability to modulate torque and speed up to 100 MW. Based on the fundamentals of hydrodynamic power transmission, these units are trusted and have been used in industrial applications since 1950. Highest proven reliability with over 10,000 installations Precise torque Precise torque and speed control for a wide power range Easy start-up Easy start-up and handling of high break away torques and inertia Grid protection An unloaded motor start ensures grid protection Small footprint Owing to a high power density Long lifespan Robust and durable design How torque converters work Torque converters are hydrodynamic transmissions invented based on the" Foettinger Principle. "They transmit the torque of the driving motor wear-free and steplessly, within a closed circuit. This closed circuit consists of a pump, turbine, and guide wheel with optional adjustable guide vanes. The pump wheel converts the motor's mechanical energy into kinetic fluid energy. In the turbine wheel, this kinetic energy is converted back into mechanical energy and transmitted to the output shaft. The adjustable guide vanes regulate the mass flow, which results in variable output speed. Type E... Fixed guide vanes with different characteristics Type EL… Adjustable guide vanes for accurate speed control Optional: Filling and draining valves, gears, and turning device
