torque converter
This term is a technical compound noun used primarily in automotive engineering and mechanics. It describes a specific hydraulic component that replaces the mechanical clutch in automatic transmissions, enabling a smooth transition from a standstill to motion by using fluid rather than a solid connection.
In a professional garage or engineering context, the term is used precisely to refer to the hardware. It is rarely used metaphorically. Because it is a specialized piece of machinery, it is almost always used in the context of vehicle maintenance, transmission failure, or automotive design.
Ý nghĩa
A fluid coupling device used in automatic transmissions to transfer rotating power from the engine to the transmission, allowing the engine to keep running while the vehicle is stationary.
The mechanic replaced the torque converter to fix the shuddering felt during acceleration.
