In an infinitely variable transmission with discs (1, 2) the movable disc (2) is connected to a cylinder wall (11), which together with a piston (3) encloses a fluid filled cylinder space (4). A sealing ring (6, 15, 17) provides one or more calibrated openings (14, 16) between the piston and the cylinder wall, so that as a result of the continuous relative movement, between the piston with sealing ring and the cylinder wall, during actuation of the transmission the calibrated openings are automatically scraped clean.

Infinitely variable transmission

A control device for controlling the transmission ratio of an infinitely variable transmission of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The transmission ratio is adjustably dependent on the position of a hydraulic control valve which is movable in dependence upon the difference between a predetermined desired engine speed and the actual engine speed. A stop member displaceable in dependence upon the transmission ratio regulates the minimum possible engine speed in dependence thereon.
