DRIVE BELT FOR A CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION PROVIDED WITH SUCH A DRIVE BELT AND METHOD FOR USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a drive belt (10) comprising a continuous pulling element (14) having a substantially elongate cross section and having a series of individual transverse elements (13) which are in sliding contact with the pulling element (14). According to the invention, a relatively high coefficient of friction, which is greater than 0.2 and preferably has a value in the range between 0.3 and 0,6, acts in the sliding contact between a transverse element (13) and a pulling element (14).
