CVT Clutch Terms

[Lightninn]

Could someone familiar with CVT clutch systems please list the parts (rollers, various springs, etc.) and define their purpose?

It would help to know what the parts are called and their function within the clutch system.

Thanks!! :D

Check out that site. It will explain better then someone trying to write you a book on here.

No problem. Make sure to save the link to your favorites. I had to search for a long time the second time I wanted to read it.:D

As long as your paying the bill, I bet they won't hit you with the lightning bolt Gary.:D

I read the info, Kevin. That helped out a good bit.

I understand the front variator and the rollers. Heavier rollers cause the front pulley to actuate at a lower rpm. That's pretty straight forward.

I don't yet fully understand the rear pulley and how it reacts to torque/load.

Gotta do some more reading!:ermm:
