The converter has a housing, a torque ring, pistons, a cylinder barrel, and spaces. The ring is closely held against the inner surface of the housing via first static pressure bearings which are circumferentially spaced from one another. Each of the first bearings has two pressure pockets axially adjacent each other. Fluid flows out of the spaces and is distributed to the corresp. pressure pockets via restrictors. Volume clearance between piston and cylinder changes with relative rotation between the engine shell and the torque ring.
