Abstract

A plate-link chain, in particular for a continuously variable transmission of a motor vehicle, having plate links which are connected to each other in an articulated manner by pairs of rocker pressure members, each including two rocker pressure members. The plate links and the rocker pressure members are designed in such a way as to bear against each other at respective flat contact surfaces so that the load on plate-link bands of the plate links is nearly torque-free during operation of the plate-link chain.
