Model of a V-belt centrifugal variator with mechanical adaptation

Abstract

Modern automatic V-belt CVTs (Continuously Variable Transmission) have in-built regulators as a part of their construction. These are centrifugal regulators which change the gear ratio [1, 2]. But the kinematic scheme of a motor vehicle CVT is based, in most cases, on an irrational converting of the centrifugal force. Therefore, one of the tasks of solving this problem is to create a variator with new properties.
