ROTATION COUPLING EMPLOYING TORQUE CONVERTER AND SYNCHRONIZATION MOTOR

摘要

A system employing a torque converter and a synchronizing motor to start up a large rotational driver/load combination. The torque converter is employed to increase the rotational speed of the load to the maximum speed permitted by the torque converter. The synchronizing motor is then employed to further increase the rotational speed of the load to substantially match the rotational speed of the driver.
