<p>A variator of the toroidal race rolling traction type has a rotatably mounted input disc (18, 20) an output disc (22) rotatably mounted coaxially with the input disc (18, 20), a plurality of rollers (30, 32) transmitting rotation between the input disc and the output disc and a plurality of double-acting pistons (36, 38) each acting upon a respective one of the rollers. The variator also has a plurality of levers (44, 60) each connected to a respective one of the rollers (30, 32) and its associated actuator (36, 38). By connecting the actuators to the rollers via levers a much more compact arrangement can be achieved.</p> |
