Torque converter for a vehicle

摘要

A torque converter including a stator rotatable about an axis and having a stator hub, and a thrust bearing mounted to the stator hub. The stator hub has a recessed portion that is recessed from one axial end face of the stator hub. The thrust bearing includes a bearing race received by the recessed portion of the stator hub. A coupling connects the bearing race with the stator hub. The coupling includes a first engaging part disposed on an outer periphery of the bearing race and a second engaging part engaged with the first engaging part and disposed on an outer periphery of the recessed portion in opposed relation to the outer periphery of the bearing race. The first and second engaging parts cooperate to prevent a relative rotation between the bearing race and the stator.
