Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a belt for a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in which multiple V blocks of a plurality of types having different thicknesses are attached to an endless body. The method includes forming a plurality of V block groups respectively having a different ratio of different types of V blocks; and forming a series of V blocks by attaching a plurality of V blocks to the endless belt to provide said plurality of V block groups. The V block groups have different ratios of the plurality of types of V blocks to provide a belt whose noise level is low and dispersed.
Abstract:
A stacked ring 2 that forms a transmission belt is formed by stacking a plurality of elastically deformable ring materials 201 to 206 together. Shot peening is performed on surfaces of the ring materials 201 to 203 of the first layer as the innermost layer to the third layer so that a residual compressive stress in the ring materials 201 to 203 is higher than that in the ring materials 204 to 206 of the fourth to sixth layers. The outer circumferential length of the ring material 203 of the third layer is longer than the inner circumferential length of the ring material 204 of the fourth layer, and the ring material 203 of the third layer is press-fit into the ring material 204 of the fourth layer.

Abstract:
A belt for a continuously variable transmission (CVT) including an endless body and a plurality of V blocks attached to the endless body. The V blocks include a plurality of types of blocks having different thicknesses and are divided into a plurality of V block groups. The V block groups have different ratios of the plurality of types of V blocks, to provide a belt whose noise level is low and dispersed.
Abstract:
The first element has a first thickness. The second element has a second thickness that is smaller than the first thickness, and the number of second elements is approximately equal to that of the first elements. Both the first and second elements are supported by the hoop so as to stack in the thickness direction according to a maximum length sequence.

Abstract:
An endless metal belt including a ring formed by laminating endless metal plates; and multiple elements continuously attached to the ring. Each of the elements has a body, a head connected to the body by a pillar, and slots formed between the body and the head on left and right sides of the pillar, respectively, for receiving the ring. The elements satisfy the equations (h/t) 40, where h is a width of the slots, t is a plate thickness of the elements, and S is an area of the head.
Abstract:
A fixed sheave mounted on an input shaft and a movable sheave mounted on a cylindrical member that is slidably supported in the axial direction relative to the input shaft are respectively structured using annular members having the same shape. With this structure, the fixed sheave and the movable sheave can be common structural components, thereby enabling the structural components to be easily formed by making the shape thereof relatively simple. As a result, productivity can be further improved.
