Abstract
Provided are a displacement detection device and a continuously variable transmission which directly detect a position of a movable sheave. An infinitely variable transmission includes: a magnet; a movable sheave which has a concave portion on a circumferential surface; and a sensor provided with Hall elements which are arranged between the magnet and the circumferential surface of the movable sheave, detect, in a rotation direction and a direction orthogonal to the rotation direction, each of changes in magnetic flux densities accompanying the displacement of the movable sheave in the magnetic field which is formed by the magnet and attracted to the concave portion, and output output values according to the magnetic flux densities.
