A Study of the Lubrication under Impact Loading - Experimental and Analytical Application to Push Belt CVTs

This study investigated oil film in contact portions formed by the dynamic loading of a push belt and pulley sheaves for automobile CVTs. Technical difficulties of direct oil film measurement came from the structure and movement of components in variator. We therefore employed an estimation method,...
