Toroidal type continuously variable transmission

摘要

A toroidal type continuously variable transmission, in which there are provided a plurality of sets of speed change units each having rollers sandwiched between the opposed faces of input discs and output discs and in which the individual input discs are coupled to an input shaft whereas the individual output discs are coupled to an output shaft. The individual input discs or the individual output discs are held rotatably relative to each other, and the individual input discs are coupled in a torque transmitting manner to the input shaft through individual chains.
