A torque converter, most commonly found in automatic transmissions transfers power from the engine to the drivetrain. Using fluid to ensure a smooth transfer of energy from the engine to the transmission, in a continuous slip mode, engines and transmissions can run at different RPMs. This optimizes performance, fuel economy and passenger comfort.

Today’s modern transmissions require ever more demanding materials to provide increased fuel economy and enhanced driver experience. AvCarb's materials, used on cone synchronizers spinning at different speeds, provide a durable, long lasting gear interface. Because of the highly engineered friction surface, the driver doesn’t feel the shifting, the vehicle accelerates smoothly, and the engine remains in the correct operating range to maximize fuel economy.

AvCarb’s drag washers are designed to endure the rigors of tournament fishing in the most demanding environment today. These high strength washers have stable friction performance dry, coated in grease, or submerged in salt water. Today these versatile, high-performance materials from AvCarb® are improving the drag system performance of leading fishing reel manufacturers and are helping anglers to stop fish in their tracks.
