Design of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Metal Pushing Belt and Variable Pulleys

Nowadays, automakers have invested in new technologies in order to improve the efficiency of their products. Giant automakers have taken an important step toward achieving this objective by designing continuously variable transmission systems (CVT) to continuously adapt the power of the engine with the external load according to the optimum efficiency curve of e...

Lubricants for Metal Belt Continuously Variable Transmissions

This paper reviews the effects of lubricant additives and base stock used in metal belt continuously variable transmissions (CVT) fluids on the CVT transmission torque capacity. Additive formulation composed of phosphorus anti-wear agent, calcium detergent, and dispersant improved the friction coefficient between the metals. The analysis on the post-test surface suggests that the friction behav...

Control System Design with Closed Loop Mode on Electrical Continuously Variable Transmission (cvt) to Boost Performance

Use of automatic transmission systems in motor vehicles in addition to improving the ride comfort is also expected to reduce fuel consumption. The principle of the system Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is producing a variation of the ratio of the displacement system (i) as a function of velocity. The main problem is to change the variator CVT push-belt continuously variable from PULLE...

Transmission Efficiency Prediction of a Metal Pushing V-belt CVT with Implementation of Control Logic

Abstract: A simulation technology has been developed to predict the transmission efficiency of a metal pushing V-belt and pulleys that make up the drive system of a continuously variable transmission (CVT). When a CVT operates in an actual vehicle, pulley thrust pressure is adjusted by feedback control to maintain a speed ratio. This feedback control has been implemented, for the first time, in...

Modelling and Optimization of Toroidal Continuously Variable Transmission in ECE Driving Cycle

In the present study, the aim is to optimize full and half toroidal continuously variable transmission (CVT) in order to minimize the vehicle fuel consumption (FC) in ECE driving cycle. First, the model of both CVTs’ efficiency is presented. The control strategy of CVTs speed ratio based on minimizing the vehicle FC is introduced, and the algorithm of calculating the vehicle FC is shown. Afterw...
