This presentation will lead you to a brief insight of the history and the evolution of Continuous Variable Transmission.
I have tried to collect the most favorable images fro my presenatation, and the references have been mentioned at the last.
I have also uploaded the report for this presentation, I hope this will help at bit.
3. Transmission
• Thejob of the transmission is tochange the speed ratio between the engine and
the wheels of an automobile.
• Thetransmission usesarange of gears-- from low tohigh -- to make engine's
torque asdriving conditions change.
4. Introduction
• CVT is an advanced technology of automatic transmission.
• Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, continuously variable
transmissions don't have a gearbox with a set number of gears.
• single-speed transmission, gearless transmission, one-speed automatic,
variable pulley transmission.
• Shifts automatically with an infinite number of ratios.
• CVT allows for the operation at the lowest possible speed and highest
possible load, partially avoiding the low efficiency region of the engine
map.
19. Types of CVT
Based on the Design...
• Variable diameter pulley transmission.
• Hydrostatic CVT.
• Frictional CVT.
• Toroidal or roller based CVT.
• Magnetic CVT.

36. Applications
• magnetic CVTs are used in hybrid vehicle powertrains for cars, buses, trucks and off-highway vehicles.
• Toroidal CVT are already being used in hybrid cars.
• Tractors.
• Golf Carts.
• Ride on Lawn Mowers.
• Motorized Wheelchairs.
• Bicycles.
• Power tools.
• Minimachines
37. Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
Smoother operation than hydraulic automatic transmissions.
CVTs offer a continuum of infinitely variable gear ratios.
It consists of very few components.
Disadvantages
Size and weight of CVTs.
Difficulty in transmitting high torque at low operating speeds, which so far has limited their
use to small vehicles.
Difficulty in transmitting high torque at low operating speeds, which so far has limited their
use to small vehicles due to usage of wear and tear materials like belt or chain.
41. Conclusion
• The continuously variable transmission is a great innovation and will
have a great effect on the car industry and on society in general.
• The improved fuel consumption and improved control of the engine’s
speed range will help to reduce gas emissions.
• Different car companies have different designs which make each
unique to the builder, however they are based on the same basic
principles of the systems discussed here.
