Abstract
A stator support device for supporting a stator of a torque converter includes a one-way coupling device including an outer race disposed radially inwardly of the stator, and an inner race disposed radially outwardly of a rotation axis of the torque converter, an end bearing that holds a spacing between the outer race and the inner race, a thrust bearing race disposed adjacent to an end face of the outer race and arranged to restrict movements of the end bearing in a direction of the rotation axis, and a thrust bearing disposed at a transfer surface of the thrust bearing race and adapted to bear a load applied to the one-way coupling device.
