Abstract

See full text

A metal belt is wound around a drive pulley and a driven pulley of a continuously variable transmission. Since intervals between multiple adjuster metal element groups are set so as to avoid that the number of the adjuster metal element groups simultaneously existing on a driving-side chord portion of the metal belt between the drive pulley and the driven pulley is 2 or more, it is possible to prevent large vibration which would occur if two or more adjuster metal element groups would exist on the driving-side chord portion of the metal belt. Furthermore, since the multiple adjuster metal elements are distributionally disposed in the multiple adjuster metal element groups, it is possible to decrease imbalance among the adjuster metal element groups, compared with a case where all the adjuster metal elements are disposed in a single adjuster metal element group. Thereby, the vibration can be reduced more.
