Abstract: Pulley for a continuously variable transmission provided with a set of discs on a pulley shaft. At least one of the set of discs is axially movable, and at least one axially fixed bearing is interposed between the pulley and a transmission housing. One or more of the bearings are mounted on a disc of the pulley.

Abstract: Pulley, in particular suitable for application in a continuously variable transmission, in which an endless belt can be fitted between the discs of the pulleys, the path of which endless belt can be influenced by a cylinder/piston device. The cylinder/piston device is provided with at least one pressure chamber provided with walls, one of the walls being provided with a resilient hinge, as a result of which elastic expansion of the wall around the hinge is achieved at relatively high pressures in the pressure chamber. Therefore, the shaft, along which at least one of the discs is axially displaceable, is not clamped and deformed to a lesser extent under heavy load, so that the action of the transmission is not impeded.
