Automatic Transmission System

An Automatic Transmission System is an Automobile Gear box that can change Gear ratios automatically as the automobile moves under varying condition, thus freeing the, driver from shift the gears and operating the clutch(s) manually.

Types Automatic Transmission System

Semi automatic transmission system

Fully automatic transmission system

Only clutches is operated automatically Driver still have to select the gears

Employed in modern cars Gears are changed automatically by a control mechanism which is actuated by accelerater pedal.

Epicyclic Gearbox
An Epicyclic gearbox consists of two, three or even four Epicyclic or planetary gear sets. A simple gear set has a sun gear, about which planets turns round. These planet gears are carried by a carrier and a shaft and are also in mesh with a ring gear.

How The Gears Move

The white band with blue bars behind the planets represents the planet carrier.

TORQUE CONVERTER

Torque converter is a form of fluid coupling.

It uses a fluid ( such as ATF) and vaned rotors to transmit power between shafts. The torque converter is filled with ATF.
When the engine runs, power flows from the crankshaft trough the fluid to the transmission input shaft. Torque converter can be divided into 3 main members:

a.

Impeller: The impeller, also known as the pump, is the driving member and rotates with the engine.
Turbine: The impeller vanes pick up fluid in the converter housing and direct it toward the turbine. Unless the torque converter is locked, the turbine is normally turns slower than the impeller. Stator: Fluid flow drives the turbine, and when the flow between the impeller and turbine is adequate, the turbine rotates and turns the transmission input shaft. A torque converter contains the stator, or reactor, a reaction member mounted on a one-way clutch. The vanes used in each of the three elements of a torque converter are curved to increase the diversion angle of the fluid. This also increases the force exerted by the fluid and improves the hydraulic advantage.
