Torque Converter Pilot

AmTech torque convert pilot manufacturing services for Automotive OEMs in North America. The torque converter pilot is a cold forged part, made from SAE 1018 material.

The part is attached by heat welding onto the front side of the Torque Converter assembly. It’s important to explain how this part serves as a critical guide or “pilot”, during the installation of the Torque Converter.

Once mounted onto the tc assembly, this Pilot allows a precise T/C installation into Flywheel and Crankshaft. It’s critical task that makes sure excess clearance does not appear and all bolt patterns are properly lined up.

The photograph below shows how the Pilot guides the Torque Converter to be attached into the Flywheel.
