The connection is both a hydraulic connection and a mechanical connection. The hydraulic connection is through a torque converter. The mechanical connection is through a planetary gear set.The torque converter uses oil from the torque converter charging pump section to multiply the torque to the transmission. When the machine works against a low load, the torque multiplication is low. When the machine works against a high load, the torque multiplication is higher. A higher torque can then be sent to the transmission during high load conditions.The planetary gear set also multiplies the torque from the engine by making an increase in the mechanical advantage. The torque multiplication also makes an increase as the load on the machine becomes higher.During no-load conditions, neither the torque converter nor the planetary gear set can multiply the torque from the engine.The torque divider housing (3) and sun gear (14) are installed onto engine flywheel (1) . The torque divider case is installed on the engine flywheel housing. Output shaft (8) is connected to yoke (7) . Yoke (7) is connected to the planetary transmission through a drive shaft.The planetary gear set is composed of the following parts: sun gear (14) , planetary carrier (12) , planetary gears (13) , and ring gear (2) . Sun gear (14) is connected to the flywheel by splines. Planetary carrier (12) is connected to output shaft (8) by splines. Planetary gears (13) are held by planetary carrier (12) and planetary gears (13) are engaged by sun gear (14) and by ring gear (2) .The torque converter is composed of the following parts: housing (3) , impeller (4) , turbine (11) , and stator (10) . Housing (3) is connected to flywheel (1) by splines. Impeller (4) is connected to housing (3) . Turbine (11) is connected to ring gear (2) by splines. Stator (10) is connected to carrier (6) .Torque Converter Operation
Oil for the operation of the torque converter flows through inlet passage (9) in carrier (6) to impeller (4) . The rotation of the impeller gives force to the oil. The impeller sends the oil around the inside of housing (3) to turbine (11) .The force of the oil on the blades of the turbine causes the turbine to turn. The turbine sends torque to the planetary gears (13) through ring gear (2) . The torque that is given to the turbine by the force of the oil cannot be a greater force than the torque output of the engine to the impeller.As the oil flows from the turbine, the oil moves
