Abstract

The system includes: a driver; a rotating load configured to be driven into rotation by the driver; a controller, for controllably changing a rotation speed of the load; and a variable speed transmission, arranged between the driver and the load. The variable speed transmission includes a speed summing gear arrangement with a first input shaft, a second input shaft and an output shaft. The output shaft is drivingly coupled to the rotating load. The first input shaft is drivingly coupled to the driver. A continuous variable transmission device is mechanically coupled to the driver and to the second input shaft of the speed summing gear arrangement. The continuous variable transmission device is functionally coupled to the controller.
