ABSTRACT:
A continuously variable traction drive transmission comprising a rotating disc mounted on a first shaft and a roller in frictional contact with the face of the disc, the roller being axially movable along a second shaft and thereby radially movable along the disc face to vary the relative rotational speeds of the disc and roller. This axial movement is automatically accomplished by pivotally supporting an end of the second shaft and providing a controlled translation to the other end of the second shaft. A mechanism for controlling the contact pressure between the disc face and the roller is also provided. The transmission has low frictional losses and is therefore highly efficient and has a long service life.
