3EC-13-12510: Komatsu Forklift RING - TORQUE

## Function and Purpose Function and Purpose Torque rings, also known as torque converter rings or flex plates, are crucial components in the powertrain system of forklifts. They serve as a connection between the engine's crankshaft and the torque converter, helping to transfer power from the engine to the transmission1. Torque rings, also known as torque converter rings or flex plates, are crucial components in the powertrain system of forklifts. They serve as a connection between the engine's crankshaft and the torque converter, helping to transfer power from the engine to the transmission 1 . ## General Characteristics General Characteristics ?
