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.
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.
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
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 !!
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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 ?
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.
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
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?
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
I agree with the posts that prefer videos without music. The music is annoying, usually much too loud and add nothing to the content. Most are the bump-bump, bumpty-bump type that's extremely distracting. If I select a video and hear this type of music I turn it off immediately and seek another with clear narration and interesting content. mrpete222 is one of the very best that uses no music with his interesting "Jimmy Stewart" voice and useful information.
Hi, excellent. Thanks for your comment. I just like the music and it will still be part of my animations in the future. So, feel free to look for other content. Best wishes :)
A simple solution to limiting slippage in a high torque requirement would be to increase the rotational velocity of the input side of CVT gearbox and then gear it down on the output side. Sun gears could easily provide a 8:1 step up and step down ratio. Therefore reducing the torque required to be transmitted via the belt by the same ratio. Of course the CVT gearbox will need to run at very high rpm which may compromise the life of the gearbox. Thoughts?
Thank you for explaining how CVT work now I know why so many people hate CVT Because when it comes down to it it sucks it’s a cheap way for people to save money or companies have everyone look at it
And if people are wondering, it's these new belts/chains that make them horrible in cars. Those segmented belts or chains will never last like a solid steel gear does. CVTs are very reliable in scooters with rubber belts and low horsepower. In cars, avoid at all costs. When those metal belts come apart, it will damage many components and need a new transmission. It's not worth it. The manufacturer likes it because it's cheaper. As long as it lasts the warranty period, they don't care.
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..!!!
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!
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.

Short, simple, to the point with follow-up options. Well done Mr. Schwenke.
The simplest video on CVT that i have seen so far. Thank you.
best CVT explanation video.
Thanks, TS, very helpful video, well done (just cut out the music!)
vj vino krishnamoorthy totally agree

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.

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

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

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

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

Absolutely. Inventing old solutions. DAF were ahead of their time
Amazing video! One of the most interesting ones I have seen in a while!
Exceptionally well done visuals. Downright impressive.
The way the word 'centrifical' is pronounced by the narrator is very unusual to me.
Today only I got the perfect idea about how scooter cvt works! Thank you very much
Thankyou so much sir, i was searching for the reason ,how sheaves moves since months, amd today i got my answer, well excellent explanation!
Comments say it already. Very good explanation
Superb video and superb explanation
Good Explanations of the CVT
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.
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?
it the best cvt explaniton video i ever seen. thank you so much
This is very good. Understood first time

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
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

"The length of the belt must always be the same"
So if either the transmission or engine pulling mechanism fails, the belt pops
yep
Amazing innovation.
