Abstract: A continuously variable transmission for transmitting torque with at least one input shaft introducing torque into the continuously variable transmission, with at least one further shaft, to which the torque is to be transmitted, and a force-transmitting endless element, which has a non-positive connection to the at least one input shaft and the at least one further shaft. A connection between either the at least one input shaft or the at least one further shaft and the force-transmitting endless element is provided by a rotary disk (10) around which the force-transmitting endless element is wrapped. The continuously variable transmission is characterized in that the rotary disk (10) has a radius (20), which is dependent functionally on a rotational angle and a certain mean radius. The invention further relates to an out-of-round rotary disk (10) for providing a non-positive connection.

Abstract: Traction mechanism drive for an internal combustion engine, having a crankshaft gear wheel, at least one gear wheel which is arranged on a driven shaft, a wrap-around means and an electric machine which can be actuated in order to reduce rotational non-uniformities, the electric machine (9, 10) having a rotor (12) which is arranged on the or a camshaft (1, 11) and interacts with an immobile stator (15).

Abstract: The form of a tooth profile for a rotating disc (10) is provided. The tooth gaps (22) formed between teeth of the rotating disc (10) are each arranged symmetrically about a tooth gap symmetry axis (30). The tooth gap symmetry axes (30) are designed such as not to pass through a circular area (14) in the region of a rotational axis (12) of the rotating disc (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a wraparound drive for an internal combustion engine, having a wraparound means (2) which is configured as a belt or a chain and is guided over drive and output wheels (3, 5, 6) of the crankshaft (4) and at least one camshaft (7, 8) of the internal combustion engine and/or auxiliary assemblies which are to be driven. In order to ensure reliable balancing of the drive by elimination of oscillations and resonances, there is provision for at least one of the drive or output wheels (3, 5, 6) or a deflection wheel (9) to be of unround or eccentric configuration, and/or for at least two tensioning rollers (11, 13) to be provided, one of these tensioning rollers (13) being provided with a damping device (14), or both tensioning rollers (11, 13) being coupled to one another by a damping device (14).

Abstract: A rotary disk which is rotatable through a rotation angle around a rotation axis, which includes a rotary disk contour having at least one elevation and a predetermined number of teeth arranged on the rotary disk contour with respective midpoints is provided. The midpoints of respective adjacent teeth having a predetermined spacing, a rotary disk radius which depends functionally on the angle of rotation in an average radius, and a rotary disk wrapping curve resulting therefrom, the average radius being chosen such that an arc length running around the rotary disk wrapping curve is equal to the product of the predetermined spacing of the midpoints of adjacent teeth and the number of teeth. A corresponding method for designing at least one rotary disk for a timing control drive, rotatable through a rotation angle around a rotation axis, is also provided.

Abstract: A process for optimized design of a tension means drive having at least one non-circular pulley on an internal combustion engine, in which the pulley is controlled in position such that upon dynamic superposition of an excitation of the tension means drive during driving resulting from the pulley shape with at least one further excitation of the tension means drive, a specific overall excitation of the tension means drive results. The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding computer system.
