Torque converter automatic transmission SsangYong Actyon
The torque converter in the SsangYong Actyon automatic transmission performs the following functions:
*Transmission of torque from engine to transmission
*Torque multiplication
* Ensure smooth gear shifting
Design and operating principle
The torque converter consists of four main elements:
* Pump wheel: Driven by the rotation of the engine crankshaft.
* Turbine wheel: Connected to the transmission input shaft.
* Reactor: Located between the pump and turbine wheels.
* Stator: A hollow cylinder surrounding the reactor.
The operating principle of the torque converter is based on the use of working fluid (transmission oil):
* The working fluid is taken up by the pump wheel and falls under pressure onto the turbine wheel.
* The turbine wheel converts the pressure of the working fluid into torque.
* The working fluid emanating from the turbine wheel is redirected by the reactor, which returns some of the energy back to the pump wheel.
* The stator creates turbulence in the working fluid, which increases the flow and efficiency of the torque converter.

Maintenance and repair
The torque converter is a complex technical device and requires professional maintenance. It is important to change the transmission oil and filter regularly to prevent contamination and wear of the torque converter components. If you notice any signs of trouble, such as slipping or vibration, contact a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
