Operating method for continuously variable transmission, interrupting normal transmission operation by adaptation phase in which axial clamping force is reduced to level at which movement between pulleys and drive belt occurs

摘要

The normal operation of the transmission is interrupted at any time by an adaptation phase in which the axial clamping force is reduced to a level at which a given degree of movement, e.g. drive belt slip, between one of the pulleys (1,2) and the drive belt (3) occurs and in which a value for an operating parameter of the transmission is relate to the level. An independent claim is also included for a continuously variable transmission.
