Output speeds are infinitely variable within a range of 9 to 1 from a constant speed input. Drive can be used with variable input, constant output. Cleveland Speed-Variators offer the follow- ing advantages: * WIDE SPEED RANGE Infinitely variable adjustment from 1/3 to 3 times the input speed — overall speed range of 9:1. * 9SIZES Ratings from fractional to 16 HP. * PRECISION SPEED HOLDING CHARACTERISTICS Under extreme no-load-to-full-load fluctua- tion, maximum output speed change is under 4%. Under uniform loading, output speed variation is less than 0.1% * PRECISE REPEATABILITY Returns accurately to previous output speeds. Provides accuracy of repeatabili- ty within 0.1% with manual, vernier control. * POSITIVE TRACTION — NO SLIP Torque compensators provide tractive force proportioned to load for positive, no- slip operation. Unit will stall an equally rated induction motor. « ALL METAL CONSTRUCTION Rolling contact, operating on the same principle as a ball bearing, assures long life. Extended operation at any fixed speed setting does not impair speed adjustment accuracy. STANDARD UNIT ‘A compact drive with in-line shafts for use with line shafts, free-standing motors, or other prime movers. Adequate over hung capacity allows use of standard gear, belt, or chain drive ‘methods to either input or output shafts. Output shaft rota: tion is in same direction as input shaft. Operation is either driving or holding:-back modes, MANUAL CONTROL A manual handwheel speed control is standard equipment on all Cleveland Speed:-Variators unless anther control method is desired. An indicator dial provides a reference for speed ‘adjustment that is suitable for most applications. This hand- wheel can also be furnished with a vernier indicator dial and ‘control locking thumbscrew for those applications that de- mand accuracies to 0.1% repeatability.SPEED VARIATOR DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS HOW IT WORKS ‘The Cleveland Speed Variator is a dependable, compact, me chanical drive that provides infinitely variable output speeds, lover a range of 8:1 from a constant speed source. As shown, at the right, power is transmitted through the input shaft to 8 beveled drive dise in contact with the axle-mounted drive balls. Input shaft rotation causes the balls to rotate about their axles. Power is then transmitted from all rotating balls, to the output shatt by a similar ball-dise contact on the out put side, Both ends of each ball axle fit into radial slots in ‘the housing, theceby preventing axles fram revolving about the drive shafts. A free-floating outer ring provides a thied contact ‘support for the balls and rotates with them when the drive # in operation, Output speed is determined by relative lengths of the con tact paths on input and output sides of the balls. By titine both axles and bolls, relative lengths of the twa eontact paths are varied. In Figure "A", both contact paths are equal in length, thus gwing a speed ratio of 1:1. In Figure “B", ball, Contact path on the input side is longer than on the output side — resulting in a decrease in output speed: conversely in, Figure “C", an increase in speed re Tilting of the balls ‘s accomplished by rotating a cam: slotted ris plate through which all ball axles project. Precise control of this speed adjustment is obtained by employing 2 worm drive to position the speed regulating iris plate The simple geometry of the rolling parts provides smooth, Quiet, wbration-free operation over the Speed. Variator's entice 9:1 speed range.TORQUE RESPONSIVE MECHANISM A torque responsive mechanism (shown in Figure 1) is incorpo rated into both input and output shafts to provide traction ‘proportioned to the amount of torque transmitted through the rive. Those mechanisms insure traction at all times regard less of load, speed, or direction of rotation, When torque is applied to either the drive shaft or the drive disc, it is transmitted from one to the other through 6 of 8 spherical rollers secured in a retainer and normally centered, in the shallow "¥" notches formed on the opposing faces of the splined ring and the drive disc. In transmitting this torque, the spherical rollers tend to ride up the sloping sides of the notches and force the splined ring and the drive dise farther Boo Sacto me apart (see Figure 2), NOTE: SPLINED RINGS ARE FIXED TO “ECOMPLEYE DRIVE ASSEMBLY= THE DRIVE SHAFTS. DRIVE DISCS ARE NOT KEYED TO THE SHAFTS BUT HAVE X LIMITED FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT The thrust bearings in the end plates of the unit eliminate aia looseness, ary actual widening ofthe space between the Splined ring and the eve disci limited by the stitness of the net whole structure. An axial pressure is established in the unit that is transmitted from one thrust bearing to the opposing won ronaue fone through the drive discs and balls The axial pressure so created is proportional tothe applied torque and is adequate to provide positive traction between the drive cises and the balls. This proportionality between torave and anal pressure is maintained even uncer severe overload and Is completely independent of speed. At the instant of starting the drive, 2 nominal axial pres sure is required to insure thatthe drive dses and balls are WF vow rorave in tractive contact This is supplied by a series of Belleville Springs.

As several turns ff the worm are required to cover the full speed range, very Precise speed setting is attained. This ean be done manually ‘oF remote manually, or by electrical means. Pneumatic contral is effected by an actuator which pushes and pulls the control ‘worm in the manner of a rack and pinion. The curvature and length of the eam slots in the iris plate determine the pattern land range of speed control. Ins plate stops can be added to limit the output speed range. “The upper graphs shown here are plots of the outputinput| ratio as plotted against worm turns. The lower graphs are plotted against linear movement of the control worm, as with pneumatic control. TYPE K—GEOMETRIC This iris plate permits the full range of 9:1 speed change in finitely variable from ¥ to 3 times input speed. For every in- ccrement af control worm movement, the ratio will vary by @ fixed percentage of OUTPUT specs, TYPE KL—LINEAR ‘This iris plate permits a speed range of 6:1 infinitely variable from ¥a to 2 times input speed. For every increment of con: {ol worm movement, the ratio will vary by a fixed percentage of INPUT speed, TYPE KA—LIMITED RANGE This iris plate permits a speed range of approximately 75% to 125% of input speed. (See curves for actual range of each size). With the limited range iris plate, more turns of the control ‘worm are required to effect» given speed change than would be reauired with either the linear or geometric plates.

Note that the two largest sizes are available as fan, ‘cooled models for use when high loading may elevate operating temperatures. A standard Speed Variator is equipped with a direct acting manual control handwheel. This has a clear im- Pact resistant lens that is water tight for adverse en- vironments. (See photo below). The handwheel has an easy to read scale and has a dual scale to allow it to be ‘mounted on either side of the unit. (See Arrangements, #1 and #2, opposite page). A locking thumbscrew is sup plied to maintain speed setting, ‘The manual handwheel is equipped with two hands fn the dial. The larger black hand indicates direct move ‘ment of the control worm. The smaller red hand indicates. the number of turns the control worm has advanced from the extreme low output speed setting. Also, a direction label on the variator housing indicates what direction the handwheel must be turned to increase or decrease the output speed. Speed is increased by turning the hand- wheel clockwise for Arrangement #1 and counter: Clockwise for Arrangement #2. For remote manual control of the Variator, see page 14 Learn APPR nr se.

Special bearing mounting designs are available for abnormal overhung leads SHOCK LOADS The Speed Variator is intended for applications involving smooth loading. It is not directly applicable for shock loads fas encountered in crushers of in equipment with jaw or dog Clutches, Applications that involve shock or cyclic loading, plug reversals, or rapid starts and stops should be referred to the factory for engineering assistance. INERTIA LOADS ‘The “moment of inertia” or "WR?" of the load applied to the Speed Variator may watrant consideration when determining unit size forthe application. If avery large mass or one having. 2 large radius of gyration has to be accelerated within a cer tain time limit, factors are present which could cause severe ‘overloading of the Variator. Consult Factory for these applica- tions SPEED VARIATOR INERTIA ‘The input shaft inertia present in the Speed Variator is tabu: lated below for various ratio settings. Output shatt inertia can be obtained by using the reciprocal of the ratio. Example: The input shaft WR? of the 2K4 unit at the 3.0 ratio setting would be 465 Ibs. ft. The output shaft WR? would be .052 Ibs. ft. sause of the symmetty af the Speed Variator, inertia at the 10 ratio setting is identical for both input and output shafts. ‘SPEED VARIATOR INERTIA VALUES IN LB. FT* COUPLINGS Flexible couplings should be used when the Speed Variator is directly connected to a motor or shaft — rigid couplings should not be used. Proper coupling alignment is necessary to assure long service fe of shaft bearings and other internal ‘Speed Variator components. Do not drive or pound couplings. sheaves, etc. onto Variator drive shafts, as damage to internal \ariator parts may result. The end of each shatt is drilled and, tapped and a bolt and washer should be used to pull the component onto the shaft OPERATING TEMPERATURES ‘Speed Variators are designed to operate in ambient air ter peratures of 90°F. itis not uncommon for a fully loaded Varia tor housing to reach temperatures uncomfortableto the touch. Housing temperatures wil normally vary between 120°F. to 180°F. depending upon load, speed setting and unit size. 7K and 8K units operated at input speeds of 750 RPM or higher hhave integral fan cooling. See Dimensions, page 11 LUBRICATION ‘A NAPTHENIC BASE OIL HAVING A VISCOSITY OF 55 TO 165S.S.U. AT 10°F, SUCH AS "CLEVELAND SPEED VARIATOR TRACTION FLUID TYPE I", MUST BE USED IN THE SPEED VARIATOR IF OPERATING EFFICIENCY AND LONG SERVICE LIFE ARE TO BE REALIZED. Use of an improper lubricant may cause serious damage to the drive. ‘A supply of traction fluid, adequate for the intial filling of the Speed Variator, is shipped with each unit. ‘Under normal operating conditions oil should be changed after every 1000 hours of operation. Unusual operating con- ditions may dictate that 2 more frequent or less frequent oil change schedule be followed — i so, consult factory, OIL LEVEL AND CAPACITY 1n operation al internal parts ofthe Speed Variator are splash lubricated [At input speeds below 600 RPM, a higher than standard oll level is required to insure adequate shaft bearing lubrication For these applications, the factory should be notified at time RATIO (RATIO x INPUT SPEED = OUTPUT SPEED) of order, so that the sight glass, installed in the Speed Var- Unis [388 | 10 | 20 | a0 into hosing, can be propery located. as eC a Units should be fled, with the specified traction uid, to the centering ofthe sight glass Oi fovel must be read we 2K4 052, 106 28 a ‘unit is standing still, DO NOT OVERFILL. 2K6 Ce aKa 50 | 257 | esa | ie 1 4K6 159 3uL 784 1.454 ONL CAPACITY, a rs eo Tansee Bae ee a 7K 993 _| iee7 | 4sea_| 0870 pooroximate | Eta | 1% | v4 | am [am | 7 7K6 1.168 [2.267 5.368 | 10.435 il Capacity (Pints) High 3 7 a2 | 17 exe | 3095 eisa | t4ee7_| 27973, teCleveland Gear SPEED VARIATORS SRT eR) Cents gem Cee Sa iNet CLEVELAND GEAR Tere Tele a shag de ie Pent a Gs orga ots RUC Ce Data Cee Printed in U.S.A
