Abstract

This paper examines and compares the five basic principles that can be used in continuously variable transmission (CVT) and how the CVTs are more dominant over a Geared transmission system.The term continuously variable transmission also usually implies that torque may be controlled independently of speed ratio and vice versa. In other words, the torque converter of the conventional automobile should not be considered a CVT because the speed ratio is set by the torque transmitted. In contrast, traditional automatic and manual transmissions have several fixed transmission ratios forcing the engine to operate outside the optimum range. The need for a transmission system, the working principle and the constructional features of CVT has been discussed in depth

Keywords
