Figures 1 through 6 illustrate in simplified form some of the more common planetary gears, gearsets, and geartrain arrangements in order to establish applicable terminology. Figures 7 and 8 provide additional examples that use elements of those gear arrangements.

The following is a list of the most common terminology used in describing automatic transmission functions.

The following listed definitions are intended to establish terminology and criteria for describing the various kinds of automotive transmissions. A specific arrangement may be described by a combination of several of these definitions.

Since the torque converter and fluid coupling are commonly used components of automatic transmissions in industry, the SAE appointed a committee to standardize terminology, test procedure, data recording, design symbols, and so forth, in this field. The following committee recommendations will facilitate a clear understanding for engineering discussions, comparisons, and the preparation of technical papers. The recommended usages represent the predominant practice or the acceptable practice. Where agreement is not complete, alternates have been included for clarification. EXAMPLE: Two systems of blade angle designations are described. Consequently, when a blade angle is specified, the system should be designated. This SAE Recommended Practice deals only with the physical parts and dimensions and does not attempt to standardize the design considerations, such as the actual fluid flow angle resulting from the physical blade shape.

The definitions and illustrations in this SAE Recommended Practice are intended to establish common nomenclature and terminology for automotive transmission one-way clutches.

Figures 1 through 5 illustrate in simplified form some of the more common planetary gear arrangements in order to establish applicable terminology. Figures 6 and 7 provide additional examples that use elements of those gear arrangements. Gear ratio is the numerical ratio of input to output speed.

The extent of test conditions on the dynamometer must be sufficient to determine the efficiency characteristics corresponding to the following range of vehicle operations in all gear ratios with locked torque converters (open converter can also be done where appropriate and noted). a Efficiency versus output speed versus input torque b Torque ratio versus output speed c Input speed versus output speed d Output torque versus output speed e Parasitic loss versus input speed (spin losses) f Cooler flow g Output torque bias (front wheel drive transaxles)

This SAE Recommended Practice defines flywheel configuration to promote standardization of flywheels for engine flywheel mounted torque converters. Tables 1A and 1B and Figure 1 give dimensions for flywheels mounted-type torque converters. For torque converters using drive ring overcenter type disconnect clutch, see SAE J620.

To provide a means of obtaining the efficiency characteristics of automatic transmissions and automatic transaxles. It outlines dynamometer tests that map the steady-state characteristics over a range of operations of an automatic transmission/automatic transaxle and provides a method of presenting test data. This procedure must be followed, with similar test facilities so that results obtained from different laboratories are comparable. For this SAE Recommended Practice, the transmission is defined as the complete automatic transmission or transaxle assembly between the engine and the driveshaft(s) used to effect a ratio change in transmitting power. For 4WD/AWD, it does not include transfer case or power take off subsystems. This test procedure deals with the aspect of conducting complete transmission and transaxle assembly testing.

This test procedure is intended to apply to hydraulic pump suction filters and strainers used in automotive automatic transmissions that include hydraulic power pumps. The various paragraphs of Section 5, “Test Procedures,” include a variety of tests and alternative tests that are not applicable to all filters and applications, so the engineer must specify which tests are to be performed for a particular application. These test procedures are intended to evaluate filter functional performance characteristics only, durability is not evaluated under this standard. Filter design requirements must be specified by the engineer on the filter assembly drawing, an applicable engineering specification, or they may be summarized on an application data sheet similar to that found in this recommended practice. See Figure 6, “Filter Assembly Application and Data Sheet.” Pressure circuit filters, both barrier and system contamination control types, are not covered under this standard.
