Abstract: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is a type of transmission, which allows an endless variable ratio change within a limited range. Anderson CVT is one of its types. In Anderson CVT, two cones having variable diameter kept parallel having ‘floating sprocket bars’ mounted in linear grooves around the perimeter of every cone. A non-standard belt engaged with the floating sprocket bars, and it can move with length of cones, with in change in gear ratio. The bars make the system positive drive, non-friction dependent. The sprocket bars made of rubber and mounted with help of conventional spring, which gets wear and tear, have to change frequently, so manufacturing cost of full system increases and the weight of system are also high due its solid cover over cone. The following study is dedicated to the suggest the change in existing design in order to use the Unconventional materials for cone, floating sprocket bars changing to steel bars and non-standard belt to standard timing belt. So in this report we designed and developed a Unconventional Fixed Pitch CVT by using empirical formulae.
