Amorphous metal torque convertor stator

A housing-piston assembly for a coupling device, especially a wet-running, multi-plate clutch or a bridging clutch of a hydrodynamic coupling device, wherein the piston () is attached to a housing () by means of connecting elements () in such a way that it has a certain freedom of movement, and rivets () are provided as fastening elements between the piston () and the connecting elements () and/or between the connecting elements () and the housing (), and wherein at least one support element () can be positioned in a riveting position between the piston () and the connecting elements () and/or between the connecting elements () and the housing () in such a way that anvil sections () of the support element () lie behind the set heads () of their associated rivets (). A method of assembling a housing-piston assembly is also provided.
