Rubber belts have tendency for straining and slipping, what is the reason for reducing its efficiency.
Entering of new materials makes CVT transmission more efficient and reliable. One of design
improvements is metal belt, which comprises two steel strips connected with thin highly resistant
metal. Metal belts are not slipping and with them CVT transmission can transfer higher loads. Also
they produce less noise than rubber belt. For greater demands, steel chain could be used as wrap
element. It is also flexible, but much more strength than any other element. System with steel chain
is implemented with sensor of torque for ensuring enough tension with optimal
