the best simulation i've found to understand ---- how the moving part comes closer or moves away from the spinning part.. this is really informative. Thank you sir.
Thomas I don't care about negative comments. Some people only want to hear what they think is right. You have done a splendid job of teaching something we did not know. thumbs up to you.
Great video here !! By far the most complete and simplest explanation found concerning CVT. Thank you for the last part explaining also that modern cars use oil pump to adjust position of the sheaves. I came here because of that part and found the right explanation Thank you so much !!
There is a big difference between how the scooter belt works and a CVT belt. A "normal" belt pulls from the drive pulley (or sheave) to the output, a CVT belt pushes. As a result the 2 belts are built completely different, a belt that pulls is much easier to make as the tension keeps it running straight, so as long as the internal strands are strong enough, it holds together. A CVT belt has to push straight without buckling, it does this by the drive elements locking into a solid mass when under compression.
Your videos are fantastic! It makes learning so much easier when one can see an animated visual of the component working. Bravo! Keep it up.. This is my new favorite channel. Waiting for a video on locking and limited slip differentials.
there is a difference between engineering and innovative engineering. most true innovative engineering is dead these days. the reason comes down to is "if you have an idea then likely someone else has already come up with it in the past" 95% of engineers typically work off existing systems and designs make small adjustments in order to reach design objectives. there is that few percent that produce something really innovative and unique, that's where the art aspect comes in, and it's rare.
I always thought a CVT some how used some type of single conical gear that meshed with a single input gear that used a centrifugal device to slide the input gear up the conical gear. Huh, learn something new every day.
I never understood the CVT at first but after seeing how it runs and how the oil creates thru the oil pump and how it's made from a variable stand front now I see it . Thanks for explaining it really helps
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Your animations are just incredible and your explanations are concise and understandable. Keep em coming! (PS: I liked your original voice much better than this American version. It's more "soothing" and easier to listen to.)
Speed Selector makes variable speed pulleys that replace the Reeves and Hi-Lo pulleys. I think they went out of business. A lot of them are in stock or they can make a custom if needed. They have an actual engineer to help you if needed. Very helpful.
CVT, ( Continuously Variable Transmission) a dutch invention in the '50 (1953-1958). Made by Hub van doorne the founder of the dutch truck brand DAF. In Holland whe call the CVT: Variomatic
All I really cared to know was how the pulley sheaves moved towards each other and vice versa. All the animations I watched earlier represented them as shape morphing solids, as if being inflated and deflated by air. Of course that's likely not practical. This video explains that well. I'm both impressed and enlightened, and inspired as well. Now that I know how it works, how do the steel plates of the belt not wear as they slide along the moving sheaves? Don't tell me the whole system is bathed in transmission oil.
Thankyou my dear friend... Your video... It just cleared out my doubt... Thanks ... I'd subscribed at that second... Loved it man... Continue to do such job... And these 3d animations.. hats off..!!!
Nice Video, good explanation! Just a little thing: at 2:40 (exaktly at 2:57 ) you state zentrifugal weight movement for the pulleys won't work for automobiles. That is not fully correct, because all DAF 33, 44, 55, 66 and all VOLVO 66 and all VOLVO 343 Versions equipped with CVT worked with centrifugal weight as main shifting mechanism. Powered up to 70 hp they worked like a charm in my experience. They had an additional negative pressure switch to make some shifting control possible (for engine breaking downhills, for accelerating with high engine rpm and for overdrive at medium speeds) but they still drive great when this switch mechanism fails completely.
+Thomas Schwenke The idea of utilizing centrifugal forces acting on clutch pads is excellent for moving the moveable face of pulley. I wonder why car manufacturers don't apply it anymore for modern cars. Is it unreliable, hard to maintain ?
Yes, the concept of the CVT is much more efficient than automatics and manuals. Problem is, all those on the market as of now have issues sizing correctly according to the speed of the engine and driver's foot.
Produces lots of metal shavings under constant aggressive driving conditions. Also when full torque is applied, the belt suffers. Belt is driven by friction alone. Still a long way to perfection.
Great video and explanation. I find the metal push belt working metal pullies hard to fathom. I gather there’s no slip involved. What happens when the transmission is in neutral or at traffic lights?
Bahaha , some of these comments are crazy, "I don't like music, you said my favorite word wrong" 😂that's the internet I guess. But this is an amazing video, extremely well done. You've got another subscriber!
Yes, very much so. Manufactures have not figured out how to make a reliable CVT yet. If you are going to reliability, simplicity, and low maintenance manual is the way to go!
Do I even need to bring up the flures on a traditional auto transmission? If you want go go by statistical failure rate CVT are vastly more reliable. Dont just blinded throw out accusations
So far the best CVT explanation I saw, many others fail to explain how the belt interacts with shaft and V shape details. Well done!
You are right. Some don't explain how to move the moveable face of pulley which I want to know more detail.
Yeah this was a really nice illustration, but plastic kid at the end was creepy AF.

Thanks, TS, very helpful video, well done (just cut out the music!)
vj vino krishnamoorthy totally agree
vj vino krishnamoorthy
Yeah it actually explains the method of operation and construction in detail it's nice to see as before I had no clue how a cvt did it thing.
The simplest video on CVT that i have seen so far. Thank you.

Short, simple, to the point with follow-up options. Well done Mr. Schwenke.

very interesting...
Engineers are not unlike artist. You have to be pretty creative to conceive such things.

You must be an engineer . You said "are not unlike " instead of " are like"
But also have a special hate for millwrights

This is a very good video explaining how CVT transmissions work....
Exceptionally well done visuals. Downright impressive.
great simple explanation of the CVT. Thanks for putting this together

could you explain cvt's have constant engine rpm while other transmissions have variable engine speeds?
They do not, the engine rpm will increase and therefore the sheaves move in reaction changing the 'gearing' and outputting the correct power.
Very descriptive. Nice
Another great video! Thank you, Thomas!
Great job. You can tell a lot of effort went into this.
congrats, very understandable explanation.

its really worked bro...
;)
Excellent :)
Great video. Its so fokin easy to understand the one.
much better design than default gearbox, but bad thing that belt can slide at some point when high torque is applied and pulley is moving
+jetcarq that's the problem of most CVTs

I never would have thought that I would be learning about CVT from a Sim
I like the voice and also de quality of the video, its expectacular!
speechless..... gr8 efforts....

This is so much simpler than normal automatic transmission
Is it though?
Yes, very much so. Manufactures have not figured out how to make a reliable CVT yet. If you are going to reliability, simplicity, and low maintenance manual is the way to go!
The belt tends to snap off,
belts tend to slip
