All inertial continuous/infinite variable transmissions (CVT-IVT) need of a rectifier. This is due to the fact that this type of CVT-IVTs should transform, in some way, the ratcheting motion into a un....
In CVT, it is essential to optimize Clamping Force in Pulley to improve fuel efficiency. Clamping force in pulley is shaft force to control primary pulley and secondary pulley. It is determined by pul....
Currently, continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a topic of special interest as it allows the vehicle to have the engine working at its optimum regime (either minimum or maximum power consumptio....
The inertial continuously variable transmission is a mechanical transmission which is based on the principle of inertia. This transmission has a lot of advantages, namely: compactness, minimum frictio....
In order to reduce friction and predict wear of the sliding part, it is important to determine the oil film thickness of particular area. A sensor or similar device must be attached to the sliding sur....
In order to maintain the performance of push belt Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) over a long period of time, it is important to acquire a fundamental understanding of lubrication performanc....
Toyota Motor Corporation developed a continuously variable transmission (CVT), unit K313, to satisfy the rising demand for improved fuel economy. This transmission was installed in the North American ....
The new Jatco CVT8 High Torque (CVT8 HT) was developed for use on front-wheel-drive vehicles fitted with a large displacement engine. The development objectives set for this new CVT with a high torque....
In response to global demands for environmental conservation, the automotive industry is placing greater focus on the development of fuel-efficient technologies to help reduce global CO2 emissions. Wi....
It is very important to note that most present-day CVT's drive with a friction element. Unlike gears that can be produced with any size necessary for the torque load they must transfer, CVT's are limi....
The target of the work is to find out the algorithm of definition of the ratios of mechanical part of complex powersplit CVT/IVT system with regard to the highest achievable efficiency. The presented ....
