This article discusses the experiments and modelling carried out on a V-belt continuously variable transmission (CVT) of the type that is used in mopeds. Our aim was to characterize the forces which determine how the system functions. A test bench was designed for them to be determined experimentally and a series of tests which cover the variable conditions of speed, torque, transmission ratio and tension of a CVT are carried out. Estimates of the principal existing models are compared and an empirical model for assessing these forces is discussed.

Pulley strain aggravated whole-Part abrasion, affected friction and lubricates state of metal belt continuously variable transmission. Pulley strain was analyzed by analytical method and finite element analysis. The results indicate that with the increase of transmission ratio, the driver pulley compressive strain is increases after reduces for a while, and the driven pulley increase. Compressive strain dense when radius is lesser and vice versa. Two methods results are basically the same, whereby demonstrating that the model is rational and that the analysis results are reliable.

Abstract In the existing traction continuously variable transmission (CVT), half toroidal CVT (HT-CVT) is considered to have a better traction performance. However, the HT-CVT has the spin losses due to its structural limitations, which significantly influences the traction efficiency. In this paper, the kinematic qualities and contact models of a novel zero-spin rolling conical CVT (RC-CVT) are studied, and then the rollers and conical disks are compactly designed through the proposed design principles. Subsequently, the transmission efficiency is investigated by using a detailed numerical model and compared with HT-CVT. Based on these computational models and parameters, the practical spin ratio, spin momentum and traction efficiency of RC-CVT are calculated and compared with HT-CVT. The results show that the practical spin ratio and spin momentum of RC-CVT are much smaller than that of HT-CVT, and the efficiency on fixed transmission ratio is consequently higher than that of HT-CVT.

The paper focuses on the internal construction of an original Constant Power Continuously Variable Transmission (CP-CVT). In a recent publication the authors have introduced the fundamentals of the kinematics and dynamics of the CP-CVT. The present study focuses on the optimisation of the CP-CVT’s internal geometry and the size of its active elements in order to obtain maximum power transmitted with least variation over a range of transmission ratio. The paper concludes that for a specific geometry the CP-CVT presented offers promising characteristics that recommend it as a good candidate in the race of developing a new generation of the automobiles’ powertrain.

According to the structural characteristics of Hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT), a multi-functional test bench was developed, and the basic structure, working principle, and test functions of the test bench were introduced. The test bench has the following characteristics: To analyze the impact of mechanical transmission and hydraulic transmission on the HMCVT transmission system, the performance can be tested separately by using a test bench; the coupling characteristics of the hydraulic transmission and mechanical transmission can also be tested; it can also test and verify the performance of the HMCVT transmission system and the control system; the test bench has a simple structure, diverse functions, and convenient operation. Using the multi-functional test bench, this paper proposes a method of multi-level test and verification. Through this method, the simulation models are revised and improved many times, and the accuracy of the models is improved, which are consistent with the physical model, and eventually, the accuracy of the simulation result is improved. This method is used to test and verify the hydraulic transmission system, analyze the characteristics of the hydraulic transmission system, and verify the feasibility and practicability of the multi-level verification method.
