Abstract

See full text

A roller-control unit for a continuously-variable-ratio transmission of the toroidal-race rolling-traction type, in which the roller carriage (10, 14) is connected by a pivotal joint (30) to the piston (15) of a hydraulic piston-and-cylinder unit (15, 16). The piston (15) is double-acting, and the piston/cylinder contact is the only locus through which the roller carriage (10, 14) makes contact with the fixed structure of the transmission. The piston (15) may have an inner part (32) to which the roller carriage (10, 14) is jointed, and a sleeve-like outer part (33, 34) which makes the necessary sliding and sealing contacts with the cylinder (16), but allows the roller carriage (10, 14) the necessary freedom of pivoting movement during use.
