What is the lifespan of a CVT in kilometers?
1 Answers
CVT lifespan is 300,000 to 400,000 kilometers. Here is some relevant information about CVT: 1. Principle of CVT transmission: It mainly consists of two conical pulleys and a steel belt or chain. The two conical pulleys can be tightened or loosened via an electronically controlled hydraulic system, allowing the diameter of the steel belt inside the conical pulleys to change, thereby altering the gear ratio. During startup, the driving pulley has the smallest diameter, while the driven pulley has the largest diameter. At high speeds, the driving pulley's diameter increases, and the driven pulley's diameter decreases. The entire diameter-changing process is computer-controlled, enabling stepless adjustment and continuously variable transmission. 2. Advantages of CVT transmission: Since the CVT transmission has no mechanical gears, the driving process is very smooth, with almost no noticeable jerking. The CVT has fewer components, only a few hundred, which contributes to its higher reliability.
