How a CVT works! (Animation)

www.bring-knowledge-to-the-wor...
This animation explains the basic principle of CVTs (continuously variable transmission). Here, we look at the Variomatic and the Multitronic.
1) Input shaft, output shaft, metal belt
2) Continuously variable RPM
3) Pulleys and sheaves
4) Cogged v-belt, metal belt, CVT chain
5) Variomatic with centrifugal weights
6) Use of hydraulic oil pump

[@vm5571]

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!

[@lexsoft3969]

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.

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.

WOW! Genuinely impressed by the explanation and animation

[@MrSteve280]

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

[@rickyblade1155]

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.

A fantastic explanation of how the CVT operates.Well done producer

Damn, this was some good animation and explanations. You earned my like.

[@amandeepsinghsandhu4906]

Wonderful animation of CVT. Kudos to developers.
Thanks for amazing explanation

[@keitofu]

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 !!

[@koibatnahi4683]

The simplest video on CVT that i have seen so far. Thank you.

[@zahidahmad3260]

One of the best explanation I have ever seen. Now I get how CVT actually works after watching this video, thanks to admin

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.

[@nikhilkash92]

Very nice. The animation of the sheaves movement is very nice both centrifugal weights and hydraulic mechanisms

[@lukerussell2990]

You are very smart!! My Nissan has a CVT and I now completely understand how it works! Well done man!

[@Amitkumar-ur2ly]

[@mathewmclean9128]

Another great video! Thank you, Thomas!

[@louisswanepoel695]

excellent, short and sweet. direct info, no wasted fluff.

[@TrainTrackTrav]

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.

[@lucifermorningstarLMX]

You are the best to explain things like this bro. outstanding animations and narration.

[@dillwizard7516]

Very good production Thomas. Clear and concise explanation. Thank you

[@wakeelmohammed2473]

Today only I got the perfect idea about how scooter cvt works! Thank you very much

[@Pete856]

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.

[@martinchuecos5750]

Amazing explanation! Very clear! Thank you :)

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

[@AP-bo1if]

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.

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.

[@abhisheklad2621]

[@Bigdogzq]

Thanks for the video.
I love your voice though, thought it was perfectly understandable

[@ohio_dino]

Comments say it already. Very good explanation

[@adeboyegrillo3408]

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.

[@vincentlee2460]

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.
