2. Continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable...

   In 1879, Milton Reeves invented a CVT (then called a variable-speed transmission) for use in sawmilling. In 1896, Reeves began fitting this transmission to his cars, [31] and the Reeves CVT was also used by several other manufacturers. The 1911 Zenith Gradua 6HP motorcycle used a pulley-based Gradua CVT.

3. Toyota K CVT transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_K_CVT_transmission

   The Toyota K CVT transmission is a series of continuously variable transmissions (CVT) found in many Toyota and Lexus automobiles. The transmissions are manufactured for the company by Aisin, an automotive parts manufacturer that is part of the Toyota Group of companies.

4. Line shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_shaft

   The fixed pulley on the upper shaft is driven at constant speed by a belt from the power source. The loose pulley ('idler') allows the machine to be stopped in isolation – necessary for changing speed. The stepped pulleys (left) provide three drive speeds for the machine tool (not shown), depending on which pair of pulleys is connected by the ...

5. NuVinci continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NuVinci_Continuously...

   The NuVinci CVT system has a small number of parts. [5] [6] Most CVTs have lower mechanical efficiency than competitive conventional transmissions.Since any CVT may allow a power plant, human or motorized, to operate at (or closer to) its speed of optimal efficiency, output torque or output power, the NuVinci CVT may improve a system's overall efficiency or performance compared to a ...

6. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

   The angular speed is inversely proportional to size, so the larger the one wheel, the less angular velocity, and vice versa. Actual pulley speeds tend to be 0.5–1% less than generally calculated because of belt slip and stretch. In timing belts, the inverse ratio teeth of the belt contributes to the exact measurement. The speed of the belt is:

7. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(mechanical...

   A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. [1] [2] Transmissions can have a single fixed-gear ratio, multiple distinct gear ratios, or continuously variable ratios. Variable ...
