Abstract
A belt-driven continuously variable transmission adapted to prevent a tilting motion of a sheave under high temperature.The belt-driven continuously variable transmission is comprised of a pair of pulleys individually comprised of a fixed sheave rotated integrally with a rotary shaft and a movable sheave fitted onto the rotary shaft while being allowed to reciprocate thereon, and a driving belt applied to the pulleys to transmit power therebetween. a stopper member is disposed on an outer circumferential side and in a side where the driving belt is not contacted with the movable sheave so as to prevent the movable sheave from being tilted to widen a width between the fixed sheave and the movable sheave holding the driving belt by a load from the driving belt.
