[0002] A torque converter is a type of fluid coupling that transfers rotational power from a prime mover to a rotationally driven load. In vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the torque converter connects the power source to the load. It is usually located between the engine's flexplate and the transmission. The main feature of the torque converter is its ability to increase torque when the output speed is very low, allowing the fluid flowing from the turbine's curved blades to be deflected from the stator when locked with the one-way clutch, thereby providing the equivalent of a reduction gear; it is mainly composed of a turbine, an impeller, a stator, a lockup clutch assembly, and a rear cover.

[0003] The torque converter usually requires the help of tooling during the assembly process. Currently, there are many torque converter assembly devices.

The n-type assembly frame is vertically arranged and the two lower ends are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding support plates. The middle part of the n-type assembly frame is connected to the vertically arranged push rod sliding limiter.
