What is the typical transmission efficiency of a CVT?
1 Answers
Manual transmissions have the highest efficiency, reaching up to 98%; dual-clutch transmissions rank second with an efficiency of up to 96%; AT transmissions have an efficiency of 91%; while CVT transmissions have an efficiency of 87%. Below is an introduction to automotive transmissions: Transmission: A device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. Used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machinery, it alters the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gear pairs. Function of the Transmission: While driving, to adapt to different operating conditions, a vehicle's driving force and speed need to vary within a certain range. However, the torque and speed variation range of existing engines cannot meet this requirement, hence the installation of a transmission.
