<p>Plural trunnions (5) of a toroidal continuously variable transmission are joined by a link (7) so as to synchronize the axial displacement of the trunnions. A needle bearing (9) and a spherical joint (8) are interposed between the trunnions and link to permit rotation of the trunnions and inclination within a small range thereof. A wire (11) and pulleys (10) synchronize rotation of the trunnions. If the needle bearing were inclined with respect to the trunnion, an axial force would act on the trunnion as it rotates. The pulleys (10) prevent the relative inclination and axial displacement of the trunnion and spherical joint and thus prevent such an axial force from acting on the trunnion. <IMAGE></p> |
