A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is an automated transmission that can change through a continuous range of gear ratios.This contrasts with other transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps.
Variomatic is the continuously variable transmission (CVT) of the Dutch car manufacturer DAF, originally developed by Hub van Doorne. [1] It is a stepless, fully- automatic transmission , consisting of a V-shaped drive-belt, and two pulleys , each of two cones, whose effective diameter can be changed so that the "V" belt runs nearer the spindle ...
Continuously variable transmissions are an automotive transmission fitted in a vehicle, using a continuously variable drive ratio or variator device. The typical "automatic gearbox" is not usually considered to be a continuously-variable transmission, as it relies on shifting between discrete gear ratios.
The K110 was Toyota's first belt-type CVT and production began in August 2000. Toyota said that the transmission was both fuel-efficient and offered high driving performance. The K110 features a torque converter with a long-travel damper to help achieve quiet operation and improved fuel efficiency. Applications: Toyota Opa – 2.0L (2000–2005)
Capacitor voltage transformer, an electrical transformer commonly used in high-voltage transmission line applications; Centroidal Voronoi tessellation, a geometric object; Chemical vapor transport, a method for growing crystals; Constant voltage transformer, a type of saturating transformer as an alternating current voltage stabilizer
The Multitronic system uses a link-plate chain drive, [2] an oil-cooled multi-plate clutch [2] (initially of six parts, [2] later of seven to enable it to cope better with the high torque outputs of larger turbodiesel engines), and complex electronics, to overcome the traditional shortcomings of CVTs, [2] and allow a CVT transmission to be ...

The 1941 Chrysler M4 Vacamatic transmission was a two-speed manual transmission with an integral underdrive unit, a traditional manual clutch, and a fluid coupling between the engine and the clutch. [51] [52] [53] The two-speed transmission had "high" and "low" ranges, and the clutch was used when the driver wanted to switch between ranges. For ...
