A hydrodynamic torque converter with a pump, a turbine and a stator, having an increased thickness on the suction side of blade profiles of blades in the stator relative to the pressure side of the blades, in order to reduce the pump torque of the torque converter at low to medium speed ratios without influencing the other features of the characteristic diagram.

Hydrodynamic torque converter

A stator shell for a hydrodynamic torque converter (), wherein said stator shell () comprises a plurality of blades (), wherein said stator shell () comprises plural components (), produced separately from one another and respectively comprising one or plural blades () of said stator shell (), wherein said components () are fixated to one another and disposed relative to one another, so that blades () of several of said components () are disposed respectively offset relative to one another in a circumferential direction forming gaps provided in said circumferential direction extending about a central axis of the stator shell (), wherein each of said blades () is configured from an integral component between its respective leading edge and its respective trailing edge, so that each of the blades () is respectively configured integrally from one of the components (or).
