摘要： In a continuously variable transmission yokes for supporting pivot shafts provided on the end portions of trunnions are supported for displacement only in the axial direction of the pivot shafts and oscillation in a predetermined direction, relative to a support post fixed to the inner surface of a casing. By this construction, the contact pressure between the peripheral surfaces of a pair of power rollers supported on a pair of trunnions supported by the yokes and the inner sides of input side and output side discs is made uniform.

摘要： In the toroidal type continuously variable transmission system 100 incorporating a power roller bearing 11 therein, race grooves 15 and 16 respectively formed in the inner and outer races 35 and 13 of the power roller bearing 11 are respectively structured in such a manner as to have an arc-shaped cross section, and the radii of curvatures of the arc-shaped cross sections of race grooves 15 and 16 are set in the range of 52% to 59% of diameter of a rolling ball body which can roll on these race grooves, thereby being able not only to restrict an increase in dynamic torque of the power roller bearing but also to improve life of the power roller bearing.

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 load applied to the constituent member of a toroidal type continuously variable transmission is mitigated to thereby improve the durability thereof. During low speed running, a clutch for low speed is connected and a clutch for high speed and a clutch for backward movement are disconnected. During high speed running, the clutch for high speed is connected and the clutch for low speed and the clutch for backward movement are disconnected. During the high speed running, a torque is applied to the output side disc of the toroidal type continuously variable transmission. This torque becomes smaller as the transmission ratio as a whole is displaced to the high speed side. Correspondingly thereto, the load applied to the constituent member of the toroidal type continuously variable transmission can be mitigated.

摘要： Between a water pump 3 and an electric motor 1, there is interposed a toroidal-type continuously variable transmission 2. By changing the gear change ratio of the toroidal-type continuously variable transmission 2, the water supply quantity can be changed while the electric motor 1 is being operated at a constant speed.
