English Dictionary

torque converter

名詞

(mechanical engineering) A device that converts the rotational output of a prime mover into work by driving a rotational load. A torque converter functions as a clutch and reduction gear to allow loose coupling between the driver and the driven, letting the drive (such as a motor or engine) rotate at different speeds from the load (such as a wheel).

日本語の意味

トルクコンバータ：（機械工学用語） 主動機の回転出力を、回転する負荷を駆動する形で仕事に変換する装置。クラッチ及び減速機の役割を果たし、動力源（例：モーターやエンジン）と負荷（例：車輪）との間で緩やかな結合を可能にする。

The mechanic inspected the torque converter to ensure the engine could smoothly transfer power to the drivetrain.

整備士は、エンジンの回転出力を動力に変換する装置であるトルクコンバータを点検し、エンジンが駆動系へ滑らかに動力を伝えられるかを確認した。
