Abstract:Because of its incomparable advantages over other transmissions especially in some specific conditions, rubber-V-belt, continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) have been extensively applied in low-power vehicles, such as scooters and snowmobiles. The main structural parameters of a CVT evidently affect the driving performance of the vehicle. The effect of one main structural parameter, namely the masses of the flyweights utilized, on the governing characteristics of the CVT is studied, and the mechanism of t… Show more
