A continuously variable transmission (CVT) consisting of slider-cranks, solid cams and non-invertible mechanisms is discussed in this paper. The conventional CVTs are mainly classified as belt-types or toroidal types conduction mechanisms. Basically, these composed frictional components. However, the proposed CVT paper does not have any special friction conductions. Friction force which being o...

Power-split continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) represent a promising technology to improve the fuel economy of high-power off-road vehicles such as construction and agricultural machines. There are capable of keeping the combustion engine running within the optimal range in terms of fuel economy and performance. Power-split CVTs are a very specific type of CVT because this kind of trans...

this paper concerns the design and analysis, of a ball type continuously variable transmission, (b-cvt). this b-cvt has a simple kinematic structure, and same as a toroidal cvt, transmits power by friction on the contact points between input and output discs, that are connected to each other by balls. after, a brief introduction of our b-cvt structure, the performance and traction efficiency of...
