Abstract

See full text

An axial-direction space can be made more compact while widening a damper twisting angle of a lockup device such that a damper characteristic can be further improved. This torque converter comprises a torque converter main body and a lockup device. The lockup device has a plurality of outer peripheral-side torsion springs and a plurality of inner peripheral side torsion springs. The outer peripheral-side torsion springs are arranged along a circumferential direction at an attachment diameter. The inner peripheral-side torsion springs are arranged along a circumferential direction at a second attachment diameter radially inward of the outer peripheral torsion springs and operate in series with the outer peripheral torsion springs. Also, the attachment diameter is equal to or larger than an outer diameter of a torus, and the attachment diameter is equal to or smaller than an inner diameter of the torus.
