In last
month's newsletter you'll recall that we provided information
that would aid you in identifying industrial transmissions and
engines. This month, we want to provide you with the information
and guidance you'll need to identify your industrial torque
converters.
As you probably know, there are many styles,
types and brands of industrial torque converters and most of
these are noticeably different from one another. However, some
of them are almost identical with subtle differences that can go
undetected.
An incorrect torque converter can cost you a lot of
time and money if you purchase the wrong one. A damaged, faulty
or contaminated torque converter can cause a lot of additional
time, money and duplication of work if it goes unchecked and
causes damage. Even worse, because it shares the same oil as the
transmission, it can also contaminate your transmission and
invalidate your warranties. For these reasons, Joseph Industries
encourages you to replace your torque converter each time you
perform transmission or engine work.
There are two main types of industrial torque
converters - steel welded and bolted.
Welded converters are the most common type. The body of welded converter is completely
sealed as a one
piece "non-serviceable" unit.
However, a bolted
converter can be taken apart for servicing. In either case,
proper identification is important to ensure correct servicing
and replacement.
We prepared a
torque
converter identification reference to help give you a clear picture of
which industrial torque converter you have. These instructions
will enable you to save time on the quoting process by ensuring
you collect the right information prior to requesting a quote
from Joseph Industries. Having all the information allows us to
promptly assist you with pricing and availability.
The torque converter links your transmission and engine
together. Don't let it be your weakest link. Joseph Industries
torque converters keep that from happening.

Joseph Tech Tip:
When re-installing engines and automatic
transmissions, continuously check the torque converter while you are
drawing the transmission and engine together to assure it is moving
freely. If the torque converter binds, it indicates that there is an
installation error. The error needs to be diagnosed and corrected
before completing the re-installation. This will prevent damage to
the torque converter, transmission pump or stator support shaft.
