Abstract: A meshing-type engagement device includes a first member, a second member, a pressing mechanism, and a reaction force mechanism. The first member is provided with a plurality of first dog teeth. The second member is provided with a plurality of second dog teeth. The pressing mechanism is configured to press the first member to the second member side. The reaction force mechanism is configured to generate a reaction force with respect to a pressing force pressing the first member for the first dog teeth and the second dog teeth to mesh with each other such that the amount of increase in the reaction force with respect to a movement of the first member is larger at a position further on the second member side than a predetermined position compared to the amount of increase to the predetermined position when the first member is pressed.

Abstract: A control system for a meshing type engagement mechanism includes a meshing type engagement mechanism and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to allow a fluid chamber to be filled with a fluid by putting a switching valve into a cut-off state after respective dog teeth mesh with each other by a second member reaching a predetermined position determined in advance in response to a fluid pressure of the fluid chamber such that the second member is pressed in the direction in which the second member is separated from a first member by a release force depending on the torque transmitted between a surface of a first tooth and a surface of a second tooth, the fluid pressure of the fluid chamber is increased, and an engagement state between the first member and the second member is maintained by the fluid pressure which is increased.

Abstract: A shaft supporting structure of a belt-driven continuously variable transmission for reducing a length of a shaft on which a torque cam is mounted is provided. A first bearing is interposed between an outer circumferential face of the rotary shaft and an inner circumferential face of the torque cam to support those members while allowing relative rotation therebetween. A second bearing is situated radially outside of the first bearing to support one of axial ends of the output member while allowing the output member to rotate relatively with a casing. A sealing member is fitted onto the torque cam to be interposed between an outer circumferential face of the torque cam and the second bearing.

Abstract: A toroidal continuously variable transmission includes: an input disk; an output disk; a plurality of power rollers; a plurality of trunnions; an oil pump; a pressing hydraulic mechanism that moves and brings the input disk and output disk closer to each other; a shifting hydraulic mechanism that moves the trunnions forward and rearward; and a hydraulic control device that controls the pressing hydraulic mechanism and the shifting hydraulic mechanism by oil pressure. The hydraulic control device has an oil pressure regulation unit that sets an oil pressure in a shifting hydraulic line that is a hydraulic source of the shifting hydraulic mechanism to an oil pressure at which shifting control can be performed by the shifting hydraulic mechanism till the transmission of power between the input disk and output disk is interrupted when the operation of the oil pump is stopped.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission includes a transmission ratio changing unit that can change a transmission ratio as a rotation speed ratio of an input disc and an output disc by tiltably rotating a power roller, a nip-press unit that can apply nip-pressure that nips the power roller between the input disc and the output disc by a pressure of a working medium supplied from a hydraulic pressure controlling unit that controls the pressure of the working medium to a nip-pressure generation hydraulic chamber via a coupling oil passage, and a pressure release unit which is disposed to the coupling oil passage and can release the pressure of the working medium of the nip-pressure generation hydraulic chamber via the release unit in response to an operation state, wherein since the release unit is positioned upward in a vertical direction of the nip-pressure generation hydraulic chamber in a state that the pressure release unit is mounted on a vehicle, the pressure release unit can appropriately prevent an unint
