  • Patent number: 6758775
    Abstract: Provided is an infinitely variable cone pulley transmission for which the contact pressure between the cone pulley pairs and the traction is generated hydraulically on one transmission side and mechanical, with the aid of a spring, on the other transmission side. The second transmission side is provided with an axially fixed and an axially movable cone pulley with extended hub. The contact pressure mechanism includes a cam sleeve that is fixed relative to the shaft, a cam sleeve formed by the free end of the hub and roll bodies for the force transmittal, which are inserted between opposite arranged cam curves and rotate around axes extending radial to the transmission shaft. The roll bodies are guided by rings and are held at a mutual distance to each other and with spring force in the axial center region between the cam sleeves, wherein the spring is arranged coaxial on the extended hub.

  • Publication number: 20020065157
    Abstract: Provided is a bevel gear unit with continuous gearing adjustment, for which the contact pressure between the bevel gear pairs and the traction means is generated hydraulically on one gear unit side and mechanically, with the aid of a spring, on the other gear unit side. For this, the second gear unit side is provided with an axially fixed bevel gear and an axially movable bevel gear with extended hub, wherein the bevel gears are connected so as to rotate jointly on their gear unit shaft and are coupled to the shaft via a contact pressure mechanism that depends on the rotational moment or a rotational moment and the gearing. The contact pressure mechanism consists of a cam sleeve that is fixed relative to the shaft, a cam sleeve formed by the free end of the hub and roll bodies for the force transmittal, which are inserted between opposite arranged cam curves and rotate around axes extending radial to the gear unit shaft.
