Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket GmbH & Co. KG

As component manufacturer, LuK also supplies converters for automatic transmissions. The multifunctional converter is a revolutionary invention in this field. With the help of idle disconnect and early bridging of the converter, a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 5% can be achieved.

The constellation of the converter enables improved distribution of the mass moment of inertia, resulting in outstanding vibration isolation in all cruising ranges. The separation of the converter enables the engine to reach higher starting speeds before the converter is switched on. This improves the start procedure of Turbo-charged engines significantly and avoids the effect known as turbo lag.
