Work machine including an internal combustion machine and an infinitely variable transmission coupled with the internal combustion engine

摘要

A work machine (10) includes an internal combustion engine (12), and an infinitely variable transmission (14) coupled with the combustion engine (12). The infinitely variable transmission (14) includes an adjustable module (18) and a mechanical module (20), with an adjustable input/output ratio. A clutch (22) is coupled with the mechanical module (20) and has an output. An adjustable operator input device (40) provides an output signal representing a power limit control. At least one electrical processing circuit (30) is coupled with the operator input device (40) and configured for controlling a selected combination of the input/output ratio and the clutch output, dependent upon the output signal from the operator input device (40).
