INTRODUCTION
 CVT is an advanced technology of automatic transmission.
 Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, continuously variable
transmissions don't have a gearbox with a set number of gears.
 CVT also known as single-speed transmission, gearless
transmission, one-speed automatic, variable pulley transmission.
 Varies the transmission ratio continuously.
 Shifts automatically with an infinite number of ratios.
HISTORY
• Leonardo da Vinci sketches is the basis for the first
continuously variable transmission in 1490.
• First patent for the CVT Transmission was made by Daimler &
Benz in 1886.
• The first workable belt driven CVT was designed and built by
the Dutchman Huub van Doorne in 1958.
• In Early 1990's Nissan introduced CVT in their Nissan March
TYPES OF CVT
1. Pulley based CVT
2. Cone CVT
3. Toroidal CVT
4. Hydraulic CVT
PULLEY BASED CVT
• It consist of main 3 parts
1.Primary clutch
2.Secondary clutch
3.Belt
1. PULLEY BASED CVT
• Low Gear • Top Gear
In this most common CVT system , there are two V-belt pulleys that
are split perpendicular to their axes of rotation, with a V-belt running
between them.

2. CONE CVT
CONE CVT
Fig 1.4a: Cone CVT showing the initial position of the belt as it
grips the driver shaft (lower) and the driven shaft (upper).
Fig 1.4b: Cone CVT showing the intermediate position as the belt
moves to the right with increase in rpm on the driver shaft.
Fig 1.4c: Cone CVT showing the final position of the belt as it has
moved to the end on right due to increase in rpm on the driver shaft
3. TOROIDAL CVT
• Toroidal CVTs are made up of discs and rollers that transmit
power between the discs by means of tractive force.
• A viscous fluid(EHL) is placed between the rollers and discs.
• The change in angle by a roller must be mirrored by the
opposing roller.
• The position of the rollers is controlled hydraulically.
TOROIDAL CVT
4. HYDRAULIC CVT
• It consist of variable-displacement pumps and hydraulic motor.
• In this type of transmission, the rotational motion of the engine
operates a variable-displacement pumps on the driving side.
• The pump converts rotational motion into fluid flow.
• A hydraulic motor located on the driven side, the fluid flow is
converted back into rotational motion.
HYDROSTATIC CVT
ADVANTAGES
• Allow for an infinite number of gear ratios.
• Eliminates "shift shock" -- makes it smoother ride
• Responds better to changing conditions.
• Better fuel economy & power loss than automatic transmission
ADVANTAGES
• The main advantage of CVTs is that they allow an engine to
run at its ideal RPM regardless of the speed of the vehicle.
• There are fewer moving parts to a CVT transmission.
DISADVANTAGES
• Limited torque capacity as compared to the manual
transmission system
• More costlier than manual transmission
• Slipping in the drive belt or pulleys.
• Additional gear train required for reverse condition.
APPLICATIONS
• Commonly used in automobiles
• New continuous variable transmission for medium duty trucks
and buses.
• Starts development on wind turbine cvt
CONCLUSION
• The applications and benefits of continuously variable
transmissions can only increase based on today’s research and
development.
• With an increase in the number of companies opting for CVTs
there will be a consequent decrease in the cost of the vehicle as
well as the transmission.
