Abstract: In a toroidal-type continuously variable transmission, a plurality of trunnions is respectively swingable about a pair of mutually concentric pivot shafts through a plurality of radial needle roller bearings respectively supporting the pivot shafts. Each of the radial needle roller bearings includes: an outer race interposed between an outer peripheral surface of the pivot shaft and an inner peripheral surface of the circular hole of the support plate, the outer race having an outer peripheral surface formed in a spherically convex surface; and a plurality of needle rollers respectively disposed on the inside diameter side of the outer race. The outer race is formed with an inwardly facing flange portion on the inner peripheral surface of the end portion thereof.

Abstract: A toroidal type continuously variable transmission, includes: at least one pair of disks concentrically disposed on each other and rotatably supported independent from each other; a trunnion swingable about a pivot shaft; a displacement shaft including a support shaft portion and a pivot shaft portion that are parallel and eccentric to each other, the support shaft portion rotatably supported to the circular hole of the trunnion through a radial bearing, the pivot shaft portion being protruded from an inner surface of the middle portion of the trunnion; a power roller nipped between the concave surfaces of the pair of disks while being rotatably supported on an outer circumferential surface of the pivot shaft portion; and a thrust bearings located between the power roller and the inner surface of the middle portion of the trunnions. An eccentric quantity of the displacement shaft being a distance between the support shaft portion and the pivot shaft portion is within a range from 5 mm to 15 mm.

Abstract: The cage includes two interconnected members. Each member has a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings; the openings in one member aligned with and spaced from the openings in the other member to form pockets for rollers.A portion of each long side of the openings is adapted to retain the rollers. Each interconnected member has tongues adjacent the openings. The tongues extend toward the other member with the tongues on one interconnected member facing and circumferentially spaced from the tongues on the other interconnected member. The spacing between the tongues in each pocket is chosen so that the tongues act as guide surfaces for the rollers.
