Sentences with phrase «effective gear ratio»

CVT provides a seamless shift through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values.

Toyota, Ford, and GM instead use a variation of a power - split design that allows some power to flow mechanically and some electrically when the gas engine is running via a planetary gear arrangement that allows for a continuous range of effective gearing ratios between the engine and the wheels.

What makes the CVT special is that rather than use the gear shifting mechanism characteristic of traditional transmissions, it goes with a seamless change through a continuous range of effective gear ratios.

Now both electric motors draw electricity from the battery pack, and the effective gear ratio is numerically lower, reducing the rpm of the primary drive motor.

Like a CVT, an HSD transmission continuously adjusts the effective gear ratio between the engine and the wheels to maintain the engine speed while the wheels increase their rotational speed during acceleration.

This comes thanks to a new twin - variable pulleys connected via a belt, which aids in changing the effective gear ratio.

A conventional CVT uses two pulleys, connected by a belt, that can change their radius seamlessly, and thus change the effective gear ratio, without any «step» effect.

It incorporates an auxiliary planetary gearbox to broaden the effective gear ratio, helping improve efficiency.

A conventional system uses two pulleys, connected by a belt, that can change their radius seamlessly, and thus change the effective gear ratio, without any step effect.
