Single or double variable diameter pulley and speed variators including such a double pulley

摘要

Pulley usable in single or double form.PPIt comprises a guidance structure (3) for segments (4) displaceable in accordance with the setting of the rods (7), which are advantageously symmetrically extended with respect to a pivot (9) and carrying an opposite counterweight. The segments (4) are circular arcs in order to ensure a good adhesion of the belt. Advantageously the counterweights are segments (42), which makes it possible to obtain a double pulley formed from two coaxial pulleys, whose diameters vary in opposite directions. The centrifugal force on segments (4) can be balanced.PP Application to continuous speed variators.
