Abstract
This paper examines wide V-belt operational behaviour operated continuously variable transmission (CVT). Important for the prediction of an optimum driving performance it is necessary to understand the motion principle of the belt in the pulley during operation. First, the design of a test rig is described, where both the driving and driven pulleys are programmable controlled, giving details of the capabilities. Second, to describe the efficiency of the drive, losses due to slip and the mechanical properties of belt material are determined. To conduct the mechanical properties of the steel-reinforced belt an experimental method is introduced. Finally, emphasis is placed on determination of circumferential motion of the belt due to various drive operating parameters. Through the study, it is found that mechanical wear at both sides of the V-belt caused by the belt’s motion is the most serious problem that affects the CVT performance.
