Takeaways

• 😀 CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) is a type of transmission that continuously adjusts the gear ratio without the need for discrete gear shifts.
• 😀 The mechanism of CVT in scooters and cars is similar, with a focus on scooter CVT simulation in this video due to its popularity in Indonesia.
• 😀 CVT operates by transferring torque from the engine's piston to the wheels, using components like the primary and secondary pulleys and the V-belt.
• 😀 The key components of CVT are the primary shift, secondary shift, and the V-belt.
• 😀 CVT operates by adjusting the diameter of the pulleys based on engine speed: at high RPM, the front pulley expands, and the rear pulley contracts.
• 😀 As engine RPM increases, centrifugal force causes rollers in the front pulley to push outward, increasing the diameter and changing the gear ratio.
• 😀 The V-belt's movement between the front and rear pulleys helps transfer power to the wheels, with adjustments to pulley diameter affecting vehicle speed.
• 😀 The spring in the secondary pulley plays a crucial role in returning the V-belt to its default position when the vehicle slows down or stops.
• 😀 Key advantages of CVT include smooth gear ratio changes, quick acceleration, and improved fuel efficiency due to precise pulley-torque matching.
• 😀 CVT's disadvantages include a lower top speed compared to other transmissions, the need for high RPM at startup, and its unsuitability for high-torque vehicles, particularly in mountainous regions.

Q & A

What is CVT, and how does it work in vehicles?

CVT stands for Continuous Variable Transmission. It works by delivering torque from the engine to the wheels without fixed gear ratios. The system adjusts the diameter of pulleys continuously, allowing for smoother acceleration and better fuel efficiency compared to traditional gear-based transmissions.

How does the CVT system differ between motorcycles and cars?

While both car and motorcycle CVT systems operate on the same basic principle of continuously variable pulley ratios, the focus of the video is on scooter CVTs, which are more common in Indonesia. The main difference lies in the specific applications of the system and the configuration of the engine and drivetrain.

What are the key components of a CVT system?

The three key components of a CVT system are the primary shift, secondary shift, and the V-belt. These work together to regulate the vehicle's speed and power output by adjusting the diameter of the pulleys continuously.

How does the primary shift work in the CVT system?

The primary shift consists of a pulley connected to the engine that changes its diameter based on engine speed. When the engine speed increases, the pulley diameter expands, which changes the ratio of the CVT and sends power to the secondary shift.

What role does the V-belt play in the CVT?

The V-belt transfers the rotational energy from the primary shift pulley to the secondary shift pulley. As the diameter of the pulleys changes, the V-belt moves, allowing the transmission system to adjust continuously, ensuring a smooth transfer of power.

What happens during high RPM in the CVT system?

At high RPM, the centrifugal force from the primary shift pulley causes the rollers to move outward, which increases the pressure on the pulley. This forces the V-belt to shift, enlarging the front pulley diameter and reducing the rear pulley diameter, resulting in faster acceleration.

Why is the spring in the secondary shift pulley important?

The spring in the secondary shift pulley helps return the system to its default position when the vehicle slows down. It counters the centrifugal force that causes the rollers to move outward, ensuring the V-belt returns to its original position.

What are the advantages of a CVT?

The advantages of a CVT include smooth transmission ratio changes, faster acceleration due to the elimination of gear shifting, a more enjoyable driving experience, and improved fuel efficiency thanks to optimal torque transfer.

What are the disadvantages of a CVT?

Some disadvantages of a CVT include a lower top speed compared to traditional transmissions, the need for higher RPM at startup, and its unsuitability for high-torque vehicles or steep mountainous areas due to limited adjustability.

Is a CVT suitable for high-performance vehicles?

CVT is not ideal for high-performance vehicles with high torque, as it struggles to handle the demands of powerful engines. It is more suited to smaller engines, such as those in scooters or commuter vehicles, where smoothness and fuel efficiency are more important than top-end speed.
