Major Components of a CVT
β€’ Unlike other transmission systems, a CVT
is simple in concept as it only has three
major components
– A drive pulley
- Connected to input shaft
– A driven pulley
- Connected to output shaft
– A belt
Changes from low to high pulley ratio
Continuously Variable Transmission
β€’ The CVT is an automatic transmission with a
continuously variable range of torque/speed
ratios
β€’ Instead of gears, the transmission uses a pair
of variable size pulleys and a fixed length
belt
β€’ As the diameter of one pulley becomes
larger the other correspondingly becomes
smaller
β€’ Ratio of pulley sizes is analogous to ratio of
gear sizes
Illustrated by: W. Rebel
Basic principle of operation
β€’ Pulleys consist of conical pulley halves
β€’ Two sheaves of one pulley move closer
together while the two sheaves of the
other pulley move farther apart
β€’ If two cones of one pulley are far apart, the
diameter of the pulley becomes smaller
β€’ Conversely, when they are closer together,
the diameter of the pulley is larger
β€’ The ratio changes as the respective pulley
diameters change with a constant length
belt

Advantages of CVT’s
β€’ Uninterrupted power transfer from engine
to drive shaft
β€’ Smooth transition as pulley ratio changes
β€’ Ability to operate engine at optimal
performance over a wide range of vehicle
speeds
β€’ Convenience similar to an automatic
transmission
β€’ Engine can operate at most efficient speed
or at speed to produce peak power
β€’ A separate clutch is not necessarily
required

Disadvantages of CVTs
β€’ Relatively low efficiency, e.g. 88%
β€’ Can not handle high torque demands
β€’ Not robust, repairs can be expensive
