Abstract:
An injection molded stator for a hydrodynamic torque converter, comprising: a thermoplastic stator hub; thermoplastic stator blades arranged at the stator hub, so as to have a flow inlet configured at a radially inner end of the blade and a flow outlet configured at a radially outer end of the blade, the stator blades being positioned relative to one another on the stator hub so that the flow outlet of every stator blade is arranged at an offset of only a width of a gap relative to the flow inlet of a subsequent stator blade in the circumferential direction; a freewheel outer ring, having a circumference, the stator hub having depressions and projections and being arranged so as to surround the freewheel outer ring; and a rib arrangement provided at the circumference of the outer ring so as to extend at least substantially in an axial direction, the rib arrangement having radial projections and depressions that engage corresponding depressions and projections in the stator hub.
