The full and half toroidal CVT have been the subject for many research papers. The
efficiency and behavior in steady state of both topologies has already been discussed in …

The continuous search for more efficient drives, recently motivated also by environmental
issues and innovative electro-mechanical applications, has led to a renovated interest in …

The development of high-speed motors has stimulated the demand for high-speed reducers.
Aiming at the lack of high-speed reducer and the NVH problem of high-speed gear …

This paper describes how an electrical variable transmission (EVT) can be used as an
alternative for mechanical continuously variable transmission (CVT) systems. An EVT is an …

In most applications where a variable transmission is required, either an EVT or a CVT
would be viable options. In order to obtain a justified decision between both variable …

Turbocharging dramatically improves the power density of internal combustion engines.
However, when the energy to turbine is either smaller or larger than what is needed by the …

This paper presents a novel Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) design. CVT is highly
beneficial for actuators with rotary output as it can improve the energy efficiency of the …

In this study, a zero-spin cone-roller traction drive (CRTD) is presented for the joints
transmission system in rehabilitation robots due to its high transmission performance and …

This study aims at finding an analytical model of ball continuously variable transmission (B-
CVT) behavior and performance, based on the existing model of the half-toroidal traction …

With the advantages of high torque and low noise, traction drive continuously variable
transmissions (TDCVTs) have a promising application in future vehicles. However, their …
