  • Publication number: 20110152019
    Abstract: A belt and conical pulley transmission including pairs of conical pulleys on the drive side and on the driven side, each pair of pulleys including an axially movable and an axially fixed conical pulley. A plate-link chain is disposed between the pulley pairs to transmit torque and includes pressure pieces. A slide rail guides the chain in a chain movement direction and is tiltably supported for tilting movement relative to a support. The slide rail is also movable along the support in a transverse direction relative to the chain movement direction to guide the chain during transmission ratio changes to minimize chain transverse oscillations and consequent acoustic disturbances.

  • Patent number: 7125355
    Abstract: A regulatable continuously variable transmission in which one multiple-jet nozzle (4) is used for supplying cooling and lubricant oil to the variator. The flow diameter (9, 10) of the nozzle (4) is created so that a stationary flow exists in the nozzle (4) and the continuity equation results in a constant value.

  • Publication number: 20060058130
    Abstract: A belt-driven conical-pulley transmission having a pair of conical disks on a power input side and carried on an input shaft, and a pair of conical disks on an output side of the transmission and carried on an output shaft, each pair of conical disks including an axially fixed disk and an axially movable disk. An endless torque-transmitting means extends around and is in contact with the input side disks and the output side disks for transmitting torque between the pairs of disks. The transmission is optimized to minimize noise emitted by the transmission when it is in operation.
