Abstract
A uniform clamp actuated shift infinitely variable transmission system is provided that includes a drive clutch and a driven clutch. Both the drive clutch and the driven clutch include torque sensitive assemblies. In particular, the drive clutch includes a drive torque sensitive assembly that is in operational communication with a movable drive sheave member of the drive clutch. The drive torque sensitive assembly is configured to move the movable drive sheave member in relation to a fixed drive sheave member based at least on torque applied to the drive torque sensitive assembly. The driven clutch includes a driven torque sensitive assembly that is in operational communication with a movable driven sheave member of the driven clutch. The driven torque sensitive assembly is configured to move the movable driven sheave member in relation to a fixed driven sheave member based at least on torque applied to the driven torque sensitive assembly.
