Abstract
A stator wheel, located between a pump and a turbine of a torque converter, includes: a first annular portion configured to be rotatable about a center of rotation; a second annular portion away from the first annular portion in a radial direction of the first annular portion; and blades provided at intervals in a circumferential direction of the first annular portion, extending between the first and second annular portions in the radial direction of the first annular portion, extending toward one side in the circumferential direction as it goes in an axial direction of a rotational shaft, being formed integrally with the first and second annular portions, and including a first surface provided on one side in the circumferential direction and a second surface located on an opposite side from the first surface in the circumferential direction configured to receive pressure from the operating fluid flowing from the turbine.
