3. Introduction
• A continuously variable transmission (CVT), also known as a single-
speed transmission, stepless transmission and pulley transmission is
an automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a
continuous range of effective gear ratios.
• This is different from other mechanical transmissions that offer a
fixed number of gear ratios.
• The flexibility of a CVT with suitable control may allow the input shaft
to maintain a constant angular velocity even as the output shaft
speed varies.
• Rather than selecting one of four or five gears, a CVT constantly
changes its gear ratio to optimize engine efficiency with a perfectly
smooth torque-speed curve.

Input shaft
Output shaft
6. Working of CVT
When we accelerates the engine, centrifugal forces on the weight
increases and radial distance between the masses increase.
Adjustable sheaves of input shaft moves toward the fixed sheaves and gap
between adjustable sheaves and fixed sheaves decrease and diameter on
input shaft for belt will increase.
At the same time on output shaft diameter decreases for the belt.
So gear ratio ( output dia./input dia. ) decreases and speed of output shaft
will increase.
7. When we de-accelerates the engine, centrifugal forces on the weight
decreases and radial distance between the masses also decrease.
Adjustable sheaves on input shaft moves away from the fixed
sheaves and gap between fixed sheaves and adjustable sheave
increases and diameter on input shaft for belt will decrease.
At that time on output shaft diameter increases for the belt.
So gear ratio ( output dia./input dia. ) increases and speed of output
shaft will decrease.
