Metal belt for a continuously variable transmission, and a method of designing a metal belt for a continuously variable transmission

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal belt for a continuously variable transmission which exhibits a high noise suppression effect, and a design method of a metal belt for the continuously variable transmission.;SOLUTION: A metal belt 10 for a continuously variable transmission is formed by arranging a plurality of types of elements 20a, 20b having different thicknesses along a hoop 12, and provided with a plurality of uniform thickness element groups 30a, 30b formed by successively arranging the elements 20a, 20b having the same thicknesses along the hoop 12. The uniform thickness element groups 30a, 30b have lengths not shorter than 1% with respect to the overall length of the hoop 12.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
