04CVT-36 Development of a 6 Power-Roller Half-Toroidal CVT - Mechanism and Efficiency - Hirohisa Tanaka, Nozomi Toyoda Yokohama National University Hisashi Machida, Takashi Imanishi NSK Ltd ABSTRACT by an electro-hydraulic servomechanism, while others are supported by hydraulic same pressure A half-toroidal double-cavity CVT of 340 Nm acting on the servo piston for equal-force transmission capacity was put into market in transmission. These pistons are layout in the 1999. Following to this success, a challenge for lower area for saving upper space of the transmitting higher torque by smaller size has transmission. Upper two pistons are push-pull been started. The design goal is set up to type and lower third piston is a pair of push type transmit 430Nm torque by using 6 power rollers pistons operated through the cantilevers. The instead of conventional 4 rollers. This CVT has displacement of these pistons y is limited within new scientific and design issues on equal torque ± 1.0mm in Fig.2. transmission among 6 power rollers and stability of s
