Abstract
An infinitely variable power transmission mechanism comprising a driving sheave assembly and a driven sheave with a torque transmitting drive belt connecting the sheaves, a ratio controlling servo for changing the effective pitch diameter of the sheave assemblies, a belt loading servo for controlling the load capacity of the belt and relatively reduced friction diaphragm actuators for adjustably positioning movable sheave portions of the sheave assemblies, the belt and sheave assembly portions of the mechanism being in a housing area that is isolated from gearing portions of the mechanism.
