METHOD FOR FORMING A TRANSVERSE ELEMENT FOR A PUSH BELT FOR A CONTINOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION

摘要

A method for forming a transverse element for a push belt for a continuously variable transmission is described, wherein said transverse element is cut out of basic material (50) under the application of blanking members (40). At least one of the blanking members (40) is divided into at least two separate blanking member parts (70, 75), wherein a main body surface of the transverse element is simultaneously processed during a blanking movement. One (70) of the blanking member parts (70, 75) is suitable for forming a projection (21) on the main body surface of the transverse element, whereas another (75) of the blanking member parts (70, 75) is suitable for forming a tilting line on the main body surface of the transverse element.
