Torque Converter: This is
a hydraulic fluid which helps in connecting the engine to the transmission.
This helps the transmission components to use the fluid which is produced by the torque.
Planetary Gear
Set: There are many parts available in the planetary gear set like
planet gear, sun gear, and a ring gear. This is also responsible for the gear
ratios which are used by a car.
Clutches and
Bands: Clutches and bands lead to the rotation, engagement or
disengagement which helps the transmission in the shifting of gears. These
bands are wrapped around the gear train and depending on the situation of
engagement and disengagement these are either tighten or loosen.
Transmission
Fluid: It not only provides fluid pressure to the transmission but also
protects the transmission from overheating as it possesses the cooling and the
lubricating capabilities.
Sensors: This can be said as the control units of the transmission. It also helps in calculating the speed of the wheels and engine in order to decide that which gear is going to be used. Both input as well as the output sensors are used by the transmissions to do this.
Summary
It is clearly visible that a lot of
parts are present in an automatic transmission each and every part has its own
importance and are crucial in the transmission. All of these Transmission Components work together and proves to be the remarkable piece of the machinery. The main
components of a transmission are clearly understood by the above article.
