  2. Torque converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

    A torque converter is a device, usually implemented as a type of fluid coupling, that transfers rotating power from a prime mover, like an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load. In a vehicle with an automatic transmission, the torque

  3. Dual-mass flywheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-mass_flywheel

    Dual-mass flywheel section. A dual-mass flywheel (DMF or DMFW) is a rotating mechanical device that is used to provide continuous energy (rotational energy) in systems where the energy source is not continuous, the same way as a conventional flywheel acts, but damping any violent variation of torque or revolutions that could cause an unwanted vibration.

  4. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    The torsional deflection of a simple cylinder cannot radiate efficiently acoustic noise, but with particular boundary conditions the stator can radiate acoustic noise under torque ripple excitation. [8] Structure-borne noise can also be generated by torque ripple when rotor shaft line vibrations propagate to the frame [9] and shaft line.

  5. Retarder (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(mechanical...

    Torque converter, opened, interior similar to a retarder. A retarder is a device used to augment or replace some of the functions of primary friction-based braking systems, usually on heavy vehicles. Retarders serve to slow vehicles, or maintain a steady speed while traveling down a hill, and help prevent the vehicle from unintentional or ...

  6. Centrifugal pendulum absorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pendulum_absorber

    This leads to an increased engine efficiency but causes the engine's torsional vibrations to increase. The vibrations lead to durability concerns as well as a comfort reduction for the passengers and have to be avoided through the use of harmonic dampers and absorbers. This situation moves the balance between the cost of the centrifugal ...

  7. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    Disadvantages include high torque ripple (the difference between maximum and minimum torque during one revolution) when operated at low speed, and noise due to torque ripple. [ 1 ] Until the early twenty-first century, their use was limited by the complexity of designing and controlling them.

  9. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    A capacitor, in either configuration, is used for storing BEMF for re-use and to suppress electrical and acoustic noise by limiting fluctuations in the supply voltage. If a phase is disconnected, an SR motor may continue to operate at lower torque, unlike an AC induction motor which turns off. [5] [11]
