Abstract
In an infinitely variable traction roller transmission which has toric traction elements mounted opposite each other on coaxial input and output shafts with traction rollers arranged between, and in engagement with, the toric elements, the traction rollers are supported on pivot trunnions which may be moved axially for initiation of a change of the transmission ratio and the trunnions have a lever arrangement associated therewith including arms pivotally connected to their one ends to the trunnions and joined at their other ends, each arm being linked to a control lever pivotally supported in the center plane between the trunnions so as to provide, upon control lever pivoting, the same precess force to the trunnions, however in opposite directions.
