CA 2683006
A transmission and method of operation is disclosed. The transmission comprises a first rotatable disc mounted coaxially about a longitudinal axis of the transmission with a plurality of tiltable balls placed angularly about the longitudinal axis and in contact with the first rotatable disc. A second rotatable disc is mounted coaxially about the longitudinal axis and in contact with the plurality of tiltable balls. An idler placed radially is located inward of, and in contact with, the plurality of tiltable balls, wherein the idler is nonrotatable relative to the longitudinal axis. There is a cage operably coupled to the plurality of tiltable balls. The cage is adapted to rotate freely without transferring power.
L'invention porte sur une transmission et sa méthode de fonctionnement. La transmission comprend un premier disque tournant monté coaxialement sur un axe longitudinal de la transmission pourvu de plusieurs billes orientables disposées en angle autour de l'axe longitudinal et en contact avec le premier disque tournant. Un deuxième disque tournant est monté coaxialement sur l'axe longitudinal et se trouve vers l'intérieur du groupe de billes orientables et est en contact avec celles-ci, mais il ne tourne pas par rapport à l'axe longitudinal. Une cage est raccordée au groupe de billes orientables. La cage est adaptée pour tourner librement sans transférer de puissance.
