摘要： A sufficient quantity of lubricating oil can be sent into a radial needle bearing and a thrust ball bearing supporting a power roller. The lubricating oil is discharged into a gap space through a send-in side oil supply path formed in a trunnion, and is sent into a receiving side oil supply path in a pivotal support shaft portion. A thrust sliding bearing having a through-hole is provided in the gap space. The downstream end opening of the send-in side oil supply path and the upstream end opening of the receiving side oil supply path are located inside the through-hole.

摘要： In a toroidal type continuously variable transmission, first pivot shafts provided on both ends of first trunnions are supported within support holes formed in yokes secured to an inner surface of a casing. The support portions are provided with ball splines and radial needle bearings. During operation, loads acting on the first trunnions are canceled within the yokes. Axial displacements and rocking displacements of the first trunnions are effected smoothly by the ball splines and the radial needle bearings.

摘要： In order to facilitate an assembling operation of a structure which is correctly operated with a proper positional relation, in a power roller unit for a toroidal type continuously variable transmission according to the present invention, a displacement shaft, a power roller, a radial needle bearing, a thrust ball bearing and a thrust needle bearing are pre-assembled to a trunnion. After dimensional relations and operation conditions of the constructural parts of the assembly or unit are ascertained, the assembly is assembled within a housing together with other unit, thereby completing the toroidal type continuously variable transmission. That is to say, according to the present invention, since the dimensional relations and operation conditions of the constructural parts can be ascertained in a condition such parts can easily be disassembled and re-assembled, a structure in which the positional relation between the constructural parts is maintained with high accuracy can be manufactured cheaply without any troublesome operations.

摘要： For a toroidal type continuously variable transmission, the end portion of a radial needle bearing provided for a trunnion is protruded from the inner face of the trunnion. Also, the inner face of the trunnion is made substantially flat. Therefore, the processing of the trunnion is made easy, and the holder of the thrust needle bearing can be easily positioned simultaneously. Also, the structure is arranged to enable the recess formed on the trunnion to engage with the extrusion formed on the holder, thus preventing any plane pressure from being exerted excessively on the rolling surface of the needles of the thrust needle bearing, as well as preventing the needles from falling out of the pockets of the holder.

摘要： A toroidal type continuously variable transmission is arranged to support one disc on the input side, facing a pressure device, on the outer circumference of an input shaft through a needle bearing. The other disc on the input side is supported on the input shaft by means of a spline coupling and a flange. A cam board which constitutes a pressure device is supported on the outer circumference of the input shaft through a ball spline. Disc springs are installed between one face of the cam board and a loading nut. In this way, the number of difficult processing steps and the degree of required precision can be reduced at the same time, hence making it possible to implement the reduction of the manufacturing costs.

摘要： The amounts of displacement of trunnions installed in first and second cavities are made equal to each other irrespective of the amount of resilient deformation. Also, if the worst should happen, the stability of the running of an automobile is secured. The supply and discharge of pressure oil to first and second actuators for displacing the trunnions installed in the first and second cavities are effected by first and second control valves independent of each other. A value is included for controlling so that the difference between oil pressure fed into the first actuator and oil pressure fed into the second actuator may not become great.

摘要： A plural cavity toroidal transmission is designed to permit transmission of great torque between output side disks and a sleeve while maintaining a thickness of the sleeve. To this end, convex portions are formed on outer surfaces of the output side disks and concave portions are formed on edge portions of both axial ends of the sleeve. By fitting the convex portions into the concave portions, synchronous rotations of the pair of output side disks and transmission of rotation from the output side disks to an output gear can be achieved.

摘要： In a toroidal-type continuously variable transmission, there is provided a thrust rolling bearing interposed between a power roller and a trunnion for supporting a thrust-direction load applied to the power roller. The thrust rolling bearing includes a plurality of rolling elements and a retainer rollably holding the plurality of rolling elements. The retainer defines a circular-ring-shaped main body and a plurality of pockets respectively formed in the main body for rollably holding the plurality of rolling elements. A clearance between the pocket and the rolling element is set in the range of 0.6 to 6.0% of the ball diameter of the rolling element.
