There are several areas where application of contin uously variable transmission ensures higher technical performance of machines
Such car manufacturers as Honda, Toyota, Ford, and Nissan have been working on the improvement of CVTs which successfully compete with automatic gearboxes
The original design of the CVT, in which load is transmitted by gear engagement without using friction disks and flexible sections, was developed
The CVT has minimum dimensions and weight compared with the known designs of both friction and chain CVTs
A continuously variable of transmission ratio is ensured by a gear wheel with a variable pitch, composed of three gear sectors, two of which are involved in meshing, and the third unloaded sector performs a turn with angular velocity that is more than the velocity of rotation of the output shaft until it takes the position before coming into mesh
Rational design of the positive engagement contin uously variable transmission must be split flow with the number of teeth of the sectors not less than four
