Hybrid belt for continuously variable transmission has elasticity in range 5,000 to 10,000 N/mm(2

摘要

A continuously variable transmission has a hybrid belt drive with two belts incorporating numerous homogenous ribs (10). The belt is made of an elastomer and incorporates longitudinal tensile core reinforcements (12). The rib (10) elasticity at 20C is in the range 5,000 to 10,000 N/mm(2. The ribs are fabricated of e.g. polyamide or polyphenylsulfide, strengthened with glass fiber, aramide fiber or carbon fiber.
