What is the working principle of a CVT transmission?
1 Answers
The working principle of a CVT transmission is: The drive pulley of the CVT is divided into movable left and right halves. The conical discs can be tightened or expanded under hydraulic pressure, squeezing the steel belt chain to adjust the width of the V-shaped groove. When the conical discs move inward and tighten, the steel belt chain is pushed outward from the center under the pressure of the discs. Conversely, it moves inward toward the center. As the diameter of the disc driven by the steel belt chain increases, the transmission ratio changes. The functions of the transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio to meet the traction needs under different driving conditions; 2. To enable reverse driving, meeting the need for the vehicle to move backward; 3. To interrupt power transmission; 4. To achieve neutral gear.
