Reducing CO_2 emissions, which cause global warming, is one of the most important challenges facing the automobile industry today. As a result, the demand for high-powered continuously variable transmissions (CVT) has been steadily increasing. The traction-drive type half-toroidal CVT meets this demand. In 1999, the first mass-produced model of a traction-drive CVT for large-size passenger vehicles entered the Japanese automobile market. In this mass production model, there were two power rollers per cavity. In contrast, a toroidal mechanism with three rollers per cavity has been studied to attain greater compactness and higher torque capacity. A three-roller system has one and half times the torque capacity of a conventional two-roller system. In a full-toroidal CVT, the three-roller system has been analyzed for some time now. Interest in the full-toroidal system lies in the fact that the amount of power at one traction contact point is restricted by excessive spin loss. The half-toroidal CVT, however, does not have as much spin loss at traction contact point. Therefore, a half-toroidal with three rollers shows great potential as a high power-density transmission. There are some issues regarding the three-roller system that need to be considered, however. One issue is the development of a ratio control mechanism. Hydraulic pistons, which are attached to each trunnion, control transmission ratio in a three-roller system, these hydraulic pistons impede the design of a compact CVT, which is a major requirement for automobile application. In this paper, we will present a new concept for a three-roller system, which is compact in size and has high torque capacity.
