Abstract
An element for a metallic belt in a continuously variable transmission capable of reducing misalignment while ensuring friction force in a small diameter state is provided. An elementfor a metallic belt in a belt-type continuously variable transmission has a structure in which a side edge of the elementof a metallic beltthat contacts a drive pulleyand a driven pulleyincludes: a belt radial outer portionthat is located on a radial outer side of the metallic beltand linearly shaped to follow a radial inner portionas a constant-angle inclined generatrix portion; and a belt radial inner portionthat is located on a radial inner side of the metallic beltand curved to taper inward in the belt radial direction to gradually increase an inclination angle.
