The hubload transducer comprises concentric rings with a strainable member disposed in a coplanar fashion between an inner and outer ring. The hubload transducer is used with a non-torque transmitting idler pulley. The torque transducer comprises a strainable cylindrical member (2009) connected to a belt bearing surface (2005) and a rotating shaft (2006). The torque transducer will transmit a torque to a driven accessory. It is used on accessories such as an air conditioner compressor or power steering pump. Signals from the hubload transducer and torque transducer as used to calculate a drive efficiency as well as belt span tensions between the driver and driven accessories.

    Abstract: The invention conprises a drive ring CVT belt. In a CVT transmis-sion, each variable diameter pulley (11, 12) as a drive ring (26, 3 6) trained around the sheaves. Each drive ring may comprise any high modulus material such as plas-tic or metal. An endless flexible tensile member or belt (10) is traine d between the drive rings. Each drive ring further comprises a sleeve (7, 8) that is train ed around an outer surface of each drive ring. Each sleeve slides in a bushing on its respective drive ring. The belt has a tensile load that presses each of the drive rings (26, 36) together on the sleeves. The relative arrangement of the axis of rotation of each drive ring (26, 36) is maintained by the contact between the sleeves (7, 8) and the drive rings. The effective diameter or radius of each pulley (11, 12) is adjusted by movement of each drive ring (26, 36) in each pulley. Movement of the pull ey sheaves (22, 23, 32, 33) causes the axis of rotation of each drive ring to move ec-centrically with respect to the axis of rotation of the pulley. As the rings move, the belt moves with the drive rings and remains trained over the drive rings, giving a constant bending radius to the belt. The drive rings each may have a surface pro-file for use with flat belts, synchronous belts, toothed belts,multi- ribbed or v type belts.

    Abstract: A transducer for detecting a shaft dynamic behavior. The transducer comprises an arcuate sensor member supported between an inner member (101) and an outer member. At least one strain gage is attached to a surface of the arcuate sensor member to detect a surface strain caused by a shaft dinamic behavior. The inner member, outer member and arcuate sensor member are substantially coplanar. The inner member comprises a means for attaching the transducer to a mounting surface. The inner member may also comprise a self-aligning feature to optimise a sensor sensitivity in that the inner member is comprising a bore offset (705) from a sensor center (704), the sensor is there by eccentrically rotatable about the sensor center.

    Abstract: A flexible drive ring CVT belt comprises a flexible drive ring having a plurality of adjacent ring segments. The segments comprise metallic or non-metallic material sufficient to bear a compressive load imposed by CVT sheaves. The segments are interlocked along a longitudinal axis and are preloaded in the assembled position by an elastomeric member. A tensile member or belt bears on an outer circumferential bearing surface formed by the interlocked segments. The tensile member is moveable along a longitudinal axis relative to the flexible drive ring on the circumferential bearing surface. The segments further comprise opposing inclined surfaces for engaging sheave surfaces on a pulley.

    Abstract: The invention comprises a belt drive ring CVT coupler. Drive rings are rotatably connected to each end of a frame. Belts are trained around the drive rings. The relative spatial arrangement of the axis of rotation of each set of drive rings is maintained by the frame, which holds the drive rings in a pre-determined relationship between the pulley sheaves. The drive ring on the driver pulley turns in the same direction as the driver pulley through frictional contact with the sides of the CVT driver pulley sheaves. The drive ring on the driven pulley side rotates in the same direction to the drive ring on the driver pulley, since they are mechanically connected by the belts. The driven drive ring is then in frictional contact with the sides of the driven pulley sheaves, thereby driving the driven pulley. The effective diameter or radius of each pulley is adjusted by movement of the pulley sheaves. Axial movement of the pulley sheaves causes the axis of rotation of each drive ring to move eccentrically with respect to the axis of rotation of its respective pulley. Since the drive rings are mechanically connected, the drive rings move with the frame as a unit in response to the movement of the pulley sheaves, thereby changing the effective gear ratio of the transmission.

    Abstract: The invention comprises a cog type belt having a plurality of transverse teeth on an inner surface. The belt comprises an outer extensible elastomeric layer, an inner compression layer and a tensile member. Each tooth further comprises a non-metallic or plastic transverse member, pillar or rod that extends across the width of each tooth. The opposing outer surfaces of each transverse member are inclined to each other and each end approximately equates to an outer surface of the belt body elastomeric. A compressive load between the sheaves is carried by the rod and the sidewall in proportion to the modulus of each component. The transverse members have pegs or legs that allow proper spatial orientation of each transverse member in each tooth during the fabrication process, thus assuring proper operating characteristics, including proper alignment within a pulley.
