CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION
(CVT)
Basics of
transmission
The job of the transmission is
to change the speed ratio
between the engine and the
wheels of an automobile.
The transmission uses a
range of gears to make more
effective use of the engine's
torque as driving conditions
change.
There are 3 type of
transmission1.Manual transmission
2.Automatic transmission
3.Semi automatic(CVT)
Introduction of CVT
Overview of a CVT
Varies the transmission ratio continuously
Shifts automatically with an infinite number of
ratios.
Seamless power delivery
Constantly changes its gear ratio to optimize
engine efficiency
Allows the engine to rev almost immediately to
deliver maximum torque
Components of
CVT
1. A variable input driving
pulley
2. An output(driven) pulley
3. A metal belt/rollers
4. Sensors and microprocessors
Working principle
Types of CVT
Metal Push Belt CVT.
Toroidal Drive CVT.
Variable Diameter pulley Belt CVT
Hydrostatic CVT
Magnetic CVT
Simulation of CVT
Push Belt
This belt transmits power between two
conical pulleys, or sheaves, one fixed and
one movable .
A sensor reads the engine output and
then electronically increases or decreases
the distance between pulleys, and thus the
tension of the drive belt
Toroidal Traction
Drive CVT:
Uses rollers to transmit torque between the input disc and output
disc.
A viscous fluid transmits torque between rollers and discs.
Rollers and discs never touch.
The angle of the rollers changes relative to shaft position resulting
in a change in gear ratio.
The change in angle by a roller must be mirrored by the opposing
roller.
Toroidal CVT
ADVANTAGES OF CVT
Decreases engine fatigue
infinite number of gear ratios, maintaining
the engine in its optimum power range
More mechanically efficient than Automatic
transmissions.
Greater fuel efficiency than both manual and
automatic transmissions.(Fuel savings of more than
17%).
Smooth, responsive and quiet to drive
0-100
KMPH
DRAWBACKS
Limited torque capacity when compared to
manual transmissions.
Additional gear train required for reverse
condition.
Larger and more costly than manual
transmissions.
Unwillingness to discard billions of dollars
in development in MT & ATs.
USES OF CVT
Future of CVT
The IC engine is nearing both perfection and obsolescence;
advancements in fuel economy and emissions have effectively
stalled.
CVTs could potentially allow IC vehicles to meet the first
wave of new fuel regulations
Costs will be reduced further and performance will
continue to increase.
Ultimately it will give CVTs a solid foundation in the
worlds automotive infrastructure.
