Abstract

The manual gearbox in the vehicles can be very tough for the driver as the driving requires frequent shifting of gears for achieving optimal transmission ratio. In the Infinitely variable transmission (IVT) system, it eliminates the shifting of gear change operations for driver and ensures the optimal transmission ratio. This paper objective is to design a compact and simple to operate infinitely variable transmission (IVT) test rig by benchmarking the William Terry Lester IVT system and selecting the right material from PSG design data book and to compare the actual torque with theoretical torque across speed, the input torque with the output torque on the manufactured IVT test rig.
