Abstract
A half-toroidal-type continuously variable transmission capable of transmitting great power has two sets of discs, which each include an input side disc and an output side disc, and two sets of three power rollers, one between each of the sets of discs, thus providing a total of six power rollers. Trunnions supporting the power rollers are supported by support posts. Loads applied to the support posts are transmitted to fixing rods and connecting rods and are offset in those rods.
