In this study variable radius pulley is proposed, and the proposal should be applied to pulley of CVT. Variable radius pulley consists of two disks and sliding pins. Phase difference of two disks make a change pitch diameter. Therefore change speed is accomplished by changing pitch diameter of pulley. In this paper simulation for slot variation of rotary disk of the variable radius pulley was performed. Softwares for simulation are Pro/Engineer5 and Hypermesh11.0. The results of simulation are appropriate to put to practical use of the variable radius pulley
In this study variable radius pulley is proposed, and the proposal should be applied to pulley of CVT. Variable radius pulley consists of two disks and sliding pins. Phase difference of two disks make a change pitch diameter. Therefore change speed is accomplished by changing pitch diameter of pulley. In this paper analysis of rotating force for slot variation of the rotary disk of variable radius pulley was performed. The results of analysis are appropriate to put to practical use of the variable radius pulley.
In this study, new CVT system adapted for variable radius pulley is proposed to be available for pulley of CVT. Variable radius pulley consists of two disk and sliding pins joined by these disks. On account of phase difference of two disks, sliding pins move to radial direction and pitch diameter is varied. Therefore, change speed is accomplished by varying pitch diameter of pulley. CVT adapted for variable radius pulley is also performed with dynamometer test and axial distance variation. As a experimental result variable radius pulley can be alternative such as bicycle.
