Development of a High-Power Two-Roller Traction Tester and Measurement of Traction Curves

Measuring and estimating the traction coefficient is necessary to improve transmitting efficiency and design compact, lightweight toroidal continuously variable transmissions (T-CVTs). However, few attempts have been made to measure and estimate the traction coefficient of T-CVTs under practical usa...
