What Is a Torque Multiplier?
A torque multiplier is a mechanical device used to connect the gearbox and engine in vehicles such as automobiles.
The torque multiplier consists of a pump, turbine, and stator. The pump, which receives rotational force from the engine, sends fluid to the turbine. The turbine rotates using the force of this fluid, transmitting power to the gearbox as a result. The stator improves efficiency by regulating the flow of fluid and supports the conversion of torque.
One characteristic of the torque multiplier is the amplification of torque during transmission. Even when the engine is operating at low RPMs, the torque multiplier amplifies torque and transmits it to the transmission. This improves vehicle acceleration at low speeds and enables more efficient use of the engine.
