Abstract: This paper deals with the experimental analysis of link tension distribution in a chain type continuously variable transmission. We have developed an ad hoc measuring device constituted by a ...

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze in terms of efficiency and traction capabilities a recently patented toroidal traction drive variator: the so-called double roller full-toroidal variator (DFTV). By ...

Abstract: The paper deals with the theoretical and experimental evaluation of the performance of a continuously variable transmission chain drive in steady-state conditions. We propose an enhanced version ...
