Abstract: A traction drive power transmission device, where a lubrication oil can be stably and continuously applied for a long period to portions at which rollers and a shaft are in contact with each other, shortage of the lubrication oil does not occur at the contact portions, the lubrication oil is not wasted, and which does not impair work environment by contaminating floor surface etc. A traction drive power transmission device has at least one drive roller (12a), a follower roller (12b), and a circular cylinder-like shaft (11). The shaft (11) is held between the drive roller (12a) and the follower roller (12b).
