A traction device including a ring member, a carrier, and a sun member and an electric motor, wherein the electric motor is coupled to at least one of the ring member, the carrier, and the sun member.

Traction device

A high ratio traction drive transmission includes a sun roller, a traction ring, a plurality of traction planets in contact with the sun roller and the traction ring, at least one reaction roller in contact with at least one of the traction planets, and a carrier assembly coupled to at least one of the traction planets and the at least one reaction roller. The sun roller has a first longitudinal axis and the traction ring is aligned coaxially with a second longitudinal axis, wherein the first longitudinal axis is radially offset from the second longitudinal axis.

High ratio traction drive transmission

Provided herein is a carrier assembly for a continuously variable transmission having a plurality of balls, each ball having a ball axle, the ball axle defining a tiltable axis of rotation, a first traction ring assembly in contact with each ball, a second traction ring assembly in contact with each ball, the carrier assembly having a first carrier member substantially non-rotatable, a second carrier member configured to rotate relative to the first carrier member, and an axle capture member fixedly coupled to the first carrier member. The axle capture member is configured to selectively couple to one end of each ball axle.

Passive method of preventing ball axle movement during a rollback event in a ball-planetary type continuously variable transmission
