Profiling the cam of the centrifugal screwdown structure of the V-belt variator

Abstract

We consider the problem of profiling the cam of centrifugal pressure device of the driving pulley of V-belt variator which parameters and, first of all, profile would allow to create the optimal axial forces corresponding to the required mode of the transmission operation. A methodology for determining the required optimum axial forces from the condition to ensure the best traction ability of the belt transmission is given.
