摘要： A metal belt includes a metal ring assembly formed from a plurality of layered endless metal rings, and a large number of metal elements supported on the metal ring assembly, the metal belt assembly being wound around a pulley and transmitting a driving force. The clearance between adjacent metal rings is set to be in a range from negative to positive from the innermost ring to a middle ring and to be only positive from the middle ring to the outermost ring. Therefore, good lubricating conditions can be maintained by virtue of the clearance being always positive for sliding surfaces of the metal rings from the middle ring to the outermost ring, for which lubrication easily becomes insufficient in the prior art. Thus the behavior is stabilized, preventing a side face of the metal ring from coming into dynamic contact with a metal ring contact face of a neck portion of the metal element, and maintaining the tension of the metal ring in the innermost ring at a low level, so that friction is suppressed to extend the life of the ring.

摘要： Although a radial outside portion of a metal ring contact surface of a neck section of a metal element which is contactably opposed to a side edge of a metal ring of a metal ring assembly has high frequencies of contacting with a side edge of the metal ring, it is possible to suppress abrasion of the side edge of the metal ring and to improve durability of the metal ring by setting a surface hardness of the radial outside portion lower than a surface hardness of the metal ring. In addition, by setting a surface hardness of the metal ring contact surface at its portion of the radial outside lower than the surface hardness of the metal ring contact surface at other portions thereof where the frequencies of contacting with the side edge of the metal ring becomes low, in comparison with a case of setting the surface hardness of the whole metal ring contact surface low, it is possible to increase strength of the metal element and to improve the durability of the metal element.

摘要： A circumferential length correcting method for a metal ring including: a circumferential length measuring step of passing the metal ring around a driving roller and a driven roller, displacing the driving roller and the driven roller away from each other, and measuring the actual circumferential length of the ring under tension; and a circumferential length correcting step of correcting the circumferential length of the ring by displacing a circumferential length correcting roller by a predetermined distance in a direction in which the metal ring is extended. The method is capable of imparting an appropriate arc shape to the metal ring while correcting the circumferential length to fall within an appropriate value range. Before the circumferential length correcting step, the method includes an arc-shape imparting step of displacing an arc-shape imparting roller, which has an arc-shaped circumference and is positioned inside a metal ring, by a predetermined distance in a direction in which the metal ring is extended, thereby imparting an arc shape conforming to the shape of the circumference of the arc-shape imparting roller to the metal ring.

摘要： In a continuously variable transmission metal belt, a lateral-most projecting portion of a side edge of a metal ring assembly wherein each metal ring is located between a radially central plane and a radially inner peripheral surface of the metal ring. A contact point in which the projecting portion abuts against a V-face of a pulley is closer to the radially central plane than to the radially inner peripheral surface. Moreover, as the metal rings are laminated on one another, recesses are formed between the side edges of the adjacent metal rings to retain oil therein, which lubricates the sliding faces of adjacent metal rings and enhances durability of the assembly.
