  • TILTING BALL VARIATOR CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION TORQUE VECTORING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20130190131
    Abstract: A torque vectoring device is provided. The torque vectoring device includes a drive member engaged with a power source, a plurality of spherical adjusters configured to be tiltable and rotatable with respect to the drive member, a first output frictionally engaged with the spherical adjusters, and a second output frictionally engaged with the spherical adjusters. A torque distribution between the first output and the second output may be adjusted by tilting the plurality of spherical adjusters. The spherical adjusters also facilitate a differential action between the first output and the second output.
