Variatoren
Variatoren are devices that continuously vary the transmission ratio between input and output shafts, eliminating fixed gear steps. They are the core of continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), used in motorcycles, scooters, cars, and various industrial drives to keep engines near their optimal operating speed.
There are two main types: belt-type variators and toroidal variators. Belt-type variators use a pair of conical
Actuation is typically mechanical, hydraulic, or electronic, and is coordinated with engine speed, throttle, and load.
Variatoren are widely used in motorcycles, scooters, and cars with CVTs, as well as in industrial drives
