Abstract


This paper describes the design process of hydrodynamic torque converter components for modern transmission systems. The design process was divided into two steps: virtual design process i.e. numerical calculation and geometric model creation and physical realization i.e. prototype of components fabrication and testing. For creation of the impeller prototypes laser sintering technology was applied. Verification of this new technology was carried out by experiment. The prototype of hydrodynamic torque converter with a stator made with new technology was tested on a typical test rig. Based on analyze of the fabrication and assembly processes and the test results issues which appear during the stator design process were identified and considered
