Clamping force adjustment system for a continuously variable transmission. Journal of Transport System Engineering, 5 (1). pp. 13-16. ISSN 2289–9790 (2018)
Abstract
In a continuously variable transmission (CVT), engine torque is transferred to the vehicle’s wheels using traction between the metal pushing V-belt (MPVB)and the CVT’s pulleys. As a result, sufficient clamping force from the pulleys to MPVB is required. Conventionally, the clamping force is generated by extracting some of the engine power through an oil pump in a hydraulic actuation system. The oil pump converts the engine power into hydraulic pressure exerted on the CVT pulleys so that MPVB can be clamped accordingly. This process, nevertheless, causes inefficiency in the vehicle’s powertrain system since less power is transmitted to the wheels. To address this issue, this paper describes a design of clamping force adjustment system using screw-thread mechanism.
