Abstract
A speed ratio adjusting mechanism for a continuously variable planetary (CVP) drive comprises a shift driver engaging a rocker gear, the rocker gear being rotatably coupled to an input carrier using a journal and rotatably coupled to a rocker link with a revolute joint. The rocker link is coupled to an end of a planet axle, wherein rotation of the shift driver rotates the rocker gear to translate the rocker link, imparting a skew angle on the planet axle to cause a change in tilt angle.
