CONICAL-FRICTION-RING TRANSMISSION AND METHOD FOR INFINITELY VARIABLE TRANSFER OF TORQUES BY MEANS OF A CONICAL-FRICTION-RING TRANSMISSION

摘要

In order to be able to build conical-friction-ring transmissionsmore compactly, the invention proposes a conical-friction-ringtransmission having a first friction cone, having a secondfriction cone, having a friction ring, and having at least oneother transmission element, in which the first friction cone ismounted to rotate about a first friction-cone bearing axis bymeans of first friction-cone bearings, and the second frictioncone is mounted to rotate about a second friction-cone bearingaxis by means of second friction-cone bearings, in which the twofriction cones are disposed tensioned relative to one another bymeans of the friction ring, in which main bearing forces thatact radially, with regard to the friction-cone bearing axes,extend in a main bearing plane spanned by the two friction-conebearing axes, in which the at least one other transmissionelement precedes or follows the friction cones, and in whichcoupling moments can be in effect between one of the frictioncones and the at least one other transmission element, and thereaction forces produced by the coupling moments are directedcounter to the main bearing forces, in the main bearing plane.
