Continuously Variable Transmission Having A Ball-Type Continuously Variable Transmission

Devices and methods are provided herein for the transmission of power in motor vehicles. Power is transmitted in a smoother and more efficient manner by splitting torque into two or more torque paths. In some embodiments, a powertrain is configured to have a ball-type variator and two planetary gear...

Zusammenfassung:	Devices and methods are provided herein for the transmission of power in motor vehicles. Power is transmitted in a smoother and more efficient manner by splitting torque into two or more torque paths. In some embodiments, a powertrain is configured to have a ball-type variator and two planetary gear sets. Clutches selectively engagement members of the variator to provide multiple modes of operation.
