  • Torque monitoring apparatus
    Patent number: 5879253
    Abstract: A hydromechanical torque sensor having several plenum chambers can be utilized to transmit torque between the driving and driven parts in the power train of a motor vehicle as well as to make necessary adjustments in a hydraulically adjustable transmission. To this end, the plenum chambers of the torque sensor can be connected to or sealed from each other. The torque sensor and the transmission can receive fluid from discrete sources or from a single source by way of suitable valves.
