Abstract
Twenty-five years experience in the design of the pushbelt type
of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has recently resulted
in the design of the P930 transmission. The P930 project was
started to allow a new customer the chance to evaluate CVT
technology using a transmission according to his requirements.
State-of-the-art development techniques and rapid prototyping
were used to reduce the development lead time and to achieve
optimal results. An extensive test program was carried out. This
has resulted in a high torque prototype CVT, setting new standards
with respect to torque capacity, performance and fuel economy.
This paper gives an overview of the design process and the
achieved technical results.
