In part, skew limiter for a toric-drive CVT embodiments are disclosed. A skew limiter may include a shaped piece that limits the skew angle to a known angle notwithstanding the tilt angle of the rollers.

Skew limiter for a Toric-drive CVT

A method where the spin factor is looked up in a table; the slip factor is measured and the clamping pressure is adjusted to achieve a slip/spin ratio provided in a desired range is described herein. According to another aspect, an active mechanical clamping mechanism using a longitudinally movable contact point is also described.

Over clamping protection method and clamping mechanism therefor

A method where the spin factor is looked up in a table; the slip factor is measured and the clamping pressure is adjusted to achieve a slip/spin ratio provided in a desired range is described herein. According to another aspect, an active mechanical clamping mechanism using a radially movable contact point is also described.
