CVT Gearbox
CVT Gearbox
The CVT gearbox is absolutely unlike other types of gearboxes with manual, dual clutch and torque converters. Other transmissions have the number of gears, but CVT gearbox do not have this. Gear wheels are absent because there is no number of gears. In its main structure there are pulleys, and they are interconnected by a steel chain. The gear ratio changes when the conical surfaces of the pulleys approach and move away from each other. When the two surfaces approach each other, the chains are pushed out in the right direction and become larger. The opposite pulley, on the contrary, continues in motion and becomes a small gear. The acceleration of the vehicle occurs with a constant change in the ratio while the engine speed is constant. This structure, which is for electronic purposes, is tight and small in structure. There are more Japanese origin vehicles.
Compared with Other Gearboxes
When looking at other gearboxes, it may be more difficult to get used to using them. In the past, the use of belts between the pulleys caused a lot of damage Decisively for this system. The reason is that the belt is not capable of high torques. That is why a steel chain began to be used instead of a belt. Although some of the vehicle companies are known as 7–speed - 8-speed CVT gearbox, it may not mean proportional gearbox. Usually, people gradually get used to it, so they take it to the established proportions from the beginning. It may have been a smooth gearbox, but it didn't hold up as well as standard progressive gearboxes.
