2. 40 Series Comet Torque Converter

Torque Converters How does a Comet torque converter work? The drive clutch is activated by centrifugal force from the engine crankshaft. The movable sheave of the clutch is forced in as the RPM of the engine is increased. This contacts the drive belt.

The drive belt will then be forced to a larger diameter within the clutch sheaves, thus pulling it to a smaller diameter within the driven unit sheaves. The movable sheave of the driven unit is forced out, allowing the belt to seek its smaller, high speed ratio diameter. As this happens, the speed from the engine transferred to the final drive is increased. Model 20 Series (Symmetrical) The model 20 uses a 3/4' top width belt. The belt mass lends substantially to the driving ability of the system, especially in cases where added torque ability is required without danger of slipping the belt. The belt mass of 3/4' top width is especially helpful in applications of low speed, added power requirements such as tractor mowers, off road dune buggies, mini bikes, ATV's, and go-karts. This is a conventional type system featuring 13째 angle sheave faces for a 26째 collective angle.

Driven units available with either 6' or 7' diameter sheaves. Comet 20 Series Torque Converter Specifications Features Applications Diameter: 4-19/32' Simple Design Material Handling Actuation: 2 shoes w/garter springs Easy user installation Calibration: Spring Tension Reliable Bore: 3/4' & 1' 20 Series Symmetrical HP: up to 8 Engagement: 1200 - 3100 RPM. Model 340 Series Comet Torque Converters for All Engines through 8 HP. The model 340 automatic torque converter system was designed specifically for light horsepower applications such as mini bikes, lightweight sports vehicles and industrial equipment. Generally engine driven, this converter is torque sensitive which means the vehicle or driven load has influence on establishing the ratio between the driver and driven. In normal operation, the driver 'shifts into high' in response to the engine's increase in speed; the driven follows this speed change as in any variable pitch belt drive.

In the torque sensitive design, a cam actuator in the driven reacts to increased torque demands by downshifting without loss of engine RPM. In this way, the engine continues to operate at peak power range for all but the most severe loads when it will shift into peak torque range. Comet 20 Series Torque Converter Specifications Features Applications Diameter: 4-19/32' Simple Design Material Handling Actuation: 2 shoes w/garter springs Easy user installation Calibration: Spring Tension Reliable Bore: 3/4' & 1' 20 Series Symmetrical HP: up to 8 Engagement: 1200 - 3100 RPM. Model 30 Series (Asymmetrical) The model 30 uses a 3/4' top width belt. The belt mass in No. 30 is desirable in applications requiring extra rugged driving ability, such as dune buggies, go-karts, mini bikes, ATV's, grounds maintenance equipment, materials handling devices and industrial equipment. The Model 30 series is mounted with both stationary sheaves inboard.

Mounting can be on a flat, fixed plane, requiring only minimum displacement. SCP-IC Industrial Clutch Specifications Features Applications Diameter: Internal 4'; External 3.69' - 5.31' Roller Bearing, Double Sealed Housing: Cast Iron Self-Contained Bore: 3/4' 7/8', 1' Bi-Directional HP: up to 15 Heavy Duty Design Single / Double Pulley A or B Section Belt. TAV2 Torq-A-Verter This is an asymmetrical type torque converter system which means the sheave faces are non-symmetrical.

They have different angles. In this case, the moveable sheave face is 18' while the stationary sheave face is 2-1/2' for a collective angle of 20-1/2'. Here are some reasons for selecting the asymmetrical concept. The Torque-A-Verter can attain an.90:1 or 10% overdrive.

Comet Industries manufactures a Speed Limiter. Easy to install, the speed limiter is the answer to control when inexperienced drivers get behind the wheel. Comet TAV2 Torque-A-Verter Converter Specifications Features Applications Diameter: 6' Can attain.90:1 or 10% overdrive Drive Clutch Engagement: 2200 RPM Asymmetrical Drive Belt: 3/4' Top Width Asymmetrical Drive Clutch Bore: 3/4' (3/16 KEY), 1' (1/4 KEY) HP: 8 HP (2 Cycle / 4 Cycle). Model 40 Series The model 40 is sometimes referred to as the 'Mid-Range' torque converter systems since it falls into the middle range between the Comet series.

The model 40 is a rugged piece of machinery. The drive clutch is composed of heavy walled stamped steel to withstand the extreme rigors of rough applications. Whenever there is a need, want and use for a torque sensitive drive system device that is infinitely variable form engagement to the highest speeds attainable (within the pitch diameter range), the 40 model system should be considered.

Model 44 CV 'Magnum' Series (Symmetrical) The Magnum 44 continuously variable transmission torque converter system for up to 18 HP applications is a rugged piece of machinery. The drive clutch is designed to withstand the extreme rigors of rough applications. The driven unit is of the same quality construction as the drive clutch.

Application possibilities cover a wide range. By changing pucks and spring, you can convert the Magnum from the standard 4 cycle setup to be used on 2 cycle engines.

Model 500 Series The model 500 drive and driven variable pulleys are installed in a power train drive system to better match output requirements with an engine output.

If the engine is allowed to run at its peak output power, the most power available from the engine will be directed to the driven shaft. The model 500 responds to load requirements and changes the ratio between the drive and driven pulleys so that the engine can maintain its peak power output. Comet 500 Series Torque Converter Specifications Features Applications Diameter: 5-3/8' Adjustable Actuation: 3-roller Cams Tunable Calibration: Spring Ramp, Weights Reliable Bore: 3/4' & 1' HP: 2 cycle - 25 4 cycle - 16 Engagement: 800 - 4000 RPM.
