The torque converter further includes a side plate axially disposed between the one-way clutch and the turbine shell. The side plate is configured to retain the one-way clutch within the stator. The turbine shell includes a post configured to axially constrain the side plate.

A stator assembly for a torque converter includes a body and a washer. The body is rotatable about an axis and has a cavity defined by an axial wall radially spaced from the axis and a radial wall extending radially inward from the axial wall. The washer is disposed in the cavity and is configured to be compressed against the radial wall. The washer includes a base and a plurality of circumferentially spaced from each other and extending radially outward from the base. The plurality of tabs are configured to non-rotatably connect to the axial wall.

An electrified drivetrain system that improves drivability is described. It includes a propulsion system having a rotary electric machine including a rotatable shaft, a torque converter including a fluidic stator, a pump, a turbine and a normally-closed torque converter clutch; a selectable one-way clutch coupled to the fluidic stator; and an output member. The rotatable shaft is coupled to the pump of the torque converter, and the turbine of the torque converter is coupled to the output member.

A launch device for coupling the rotary output of a prime mover to the rotary input of a driven device. The launch device includes a containment vessel defining a chamber. A driving element, located within the chamber and being rotatable relative to the containment vessel, is configured to be coupled to the output of the prime mover, while a driven element, also located within the chamber and being rotatable relative to the containment vessel, is configured to be coupled to the input of the driven device. The driven element is fluidically coupled to the driving element and is rotationally driven thereby during rotation of the driving element by the prime mover.

A torque converter for a hybrid module may include a hydraulic coupling arrangement, a front cover, an impeller shell, and an electric rotor. The hydraulic coupling arrangement may include an impeller and a turbine. The front cover may have a first rim extending in a first axial direction. The front cover may at least partially encase the hydraulic coupling arrangement. The impeller shell may be fixed to the front cover and may at least partially encase the hydraulic coupling arrangement. The impeller shell may have a second rim extending in a second axial direction, opposite the first axial direction, a circumferential ring at a distal end of the second rim, and at least one impeller blade. The electric rotor may be fixed to the impeller shell second rim and axially retained by the circumferential ring.

A transmission includes: a torque converter; a transmission input shaft; a seal member sandwiched between the hollow shaft and the transmission input shaft; and a bush, the transmission input shaft including a large diameter portion abutted on the seal member, and a small diameter portion which is positioned on the tip end side of the large diameter portion, and which has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the large diameter portion, the seal member having a diameter larger than a diameter of the bush, and the small diameter portion having an axial length set to be longer than a length from an insertion inlet of the transmission input shaft of the bush to the seal member.

A torque convertor stator includes an annular bearing support, a plurality of stator blades, and a web extending radially between the annular bearing support and the plurality of stator blades. The annular bearing support, the plurality of stator blades, and the web are formed from a single continuous piece of amorphous metal.

A torque converter is disclosed. The torque converter includes a cover, an impeller, a turbine, a stator, and a first one-way clutch. A torque outputted from a prime mover is inputted to the cover. The impeller is unitarily rotated with the cover. The turbine is opposed to the impeller. The stator is disposed between the impeller and the turbine. The first one-way clutch is configured to make the cover rotatable relative to the turbine in a forward rotational direction. The first one-way clutch is further configured to rotate the cover unitarily with the turbine in a reverse rotational direction.
