What is Continuously Variable Transmission?
1 Answers
Continuously Variable Transmission, as the name suggests, is a transmission without fixed gear ratios, meaning it has no distinct gear positions. It can be said that electric motors are inherently continuously variable. More details about CVT are as follows: 1. CVT refers to a transmission system that can continuously obtain any gear ratio within its range. It consists of two variable-diameter pulleys and a belt, making it simpler in structure and more compact than traditional automatic transmissions. 2. It can freely change gear ratios, achieving seamless shifting throughout the entire range, resulting in smoother speed changes without the "jerk" feeling associated with traditional gear shifts. CVT systems use a steel belt and adjustable primary/secondary pulleys to transfer power, enabling continuous variation of transmission ratios.
