    摘要: A lock-up device for a torque converter includes a clutch part, a piston, a lock-up oil chamber, a cancellation oil chamber and a cancellation hydraulic pressure maintenance circuit. The clutch part is disposed in a power transmission path between a front cover and a transmission-side member. The piston is provided to be movable in an axial direction. The lock-up oil chamber is supplied with hydraulic oil for moving the piston to turn the clutch part into a power transmission activated state. The cancellation oil chamber is provided on the opposite side of the lock-up oil chamber through the piston, and is supplied with the hydraulic oil. The cancellation hydraulic pressure maintenance circuit is provided in an oil passage for leading the hydraulic oil discharged from the cancellation oil chamber to the transmission side, and maintains the cancellation oil chamber at a predetermined hydraulic pressure.

    摘要: A torque converter transmits a torque from a drive source to an input shaft of a transmission. The torque converter includes a front cover, an impeller, a turbine and a lock-up device. The torque is inputted to the front cover. The impeller is fixed to the front cover. The turbine is disposed in opposition to the impeller, and is coupled to the input shaft of the transmission. The lock-up device mechanically transmits the torque from the front cover to the turbine. The lock-up device includes a piston, a damper mechanism and a friction generating mechanism. The piston is disposed between the front cover and the turbine so as to be axially movable, and is capable of being engaged by friction with the turbine. The damper mechanism transmits the torque from the front cover to the piston. The friction generating mechanism generates a hysteresis torque on the piston by frictional resistance.

    摘要: A torque converter includes a cover assembly, an impeller assembly, a turbine assembly and a damper assembly. The impeller assembly includes an impeller shell drivingly connected with the cover assembly. The turbine assembly includes a shell with a clutch portion for selective driving engagement with the impeller shell. The damper assembly includes at least one cover plate, a flange for driving engagement with a transmission input shaft, and a first resilient element drivingly engaged with the at least one cover plate and the flange. The torque converter has a second resilient element for urging the turbine assembly away from the cover assembly.
