FIELD: machine building.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a switching mechanism for continuously variable transmission. Embodiments provide components, assemblies, systems and/or methods for infinitely variable transmissions (IVT). In one embodiment, a control system is adapted to facilitate a change in ratio of an IVT. In another embodiment, a control system includes a carrier member configured to have a number of radially offset slots. Various inventive carrier members and carrier drivers can be used to facilitate shifting ratio of an IVT. In some embodiments, traction planet assemblies include planet axles (115) configured to cooperate with carrier members (116, 118). In one embodiment, carrier member is configured to rotate and apply a skew condition to each of planet axles. In some embodiments, a carrier member is operably coupled to a carrier driver.EFFECT: higher efficiency of device.26 cl, 38 dwg |
