A cone to which one or several torque transmitting member(s) are attached as to form at least one torque transmitting arc on the surface of the cone. The torque transmitting member(s) will be used for torque transmission between at least one rotational energy conveying device and the cone. The torque transmitting member(s) are attached in a manner such that significant circumferential sliding that occurs between the torque transmitting surface(s) of the torque transmitting member(s) and the torque transmitting surface(s) of the rotational energy conveying device(s) when the pitch diameter of the torque transmitting member(s) is changed can be eliminated, such that wear and frictional energy losses are significantly reduced, and positive engagement devices, such as teeth, can be used for torque transmission between the torque transmitting member(s) and the rotational energy conveying device(s). The cone with torque transmitting member(s) can be used to construct various Continuous Variable Transmissions that have a long life, low frictional energy losses, and can be made non-friction dependent.
