Automotive transmission/torque

Automotive transmission and torque converter parts. Aurum thrust washers can replace metal washers and needle thrust bearings with greater packaging space and cost reduction. The transmission Aurum JCL3030 thrust washer for Ford F series superduty pickup trucks is in the torque converter where previously only thermosets and metals had been utilized (Fig. 10.4). The reduced thickness has made possible critical packaging space for more... 

Design features in the engine and transmission can effect seemingly subtle changes to the shape of the power available cui ve that are important to vehicle drivability. Automotive engineers normally address this issue in terms of available torque, rather than power, as a function of speed. Torque, of course, is... 

All automotive torque sensors form part of a system that could potentially lead to dangerous situations for the driver. Using incorrect signals that do not reflect the real torque must therefore be avoided under all circumstances. Various monitoring features within the sensors or the controllers are implemented. The data transmission from the sensor to the controller must fulfill these safety requirements, such that erroneous data transmissions are detectable. Another important...
