Abstract:
1. A continuously variable transmission comprising: an input assembly configured to be coupled to receive input rotational motion; an output assembly to provide a rotational output, the output assembly configured to be rotationally coupled to a load; an input/output planetary ratio assembly configured and arranged to set an input to output speed ratio, the input/output planetary ratio assembly having a first portion that is in rotational communication with the input assembly and a second portion that is in rotational communication with the output assembly; a torque feedback control assembly configured and arranged to provide an axial load force in response to a torque of the load coupled to the output assembly; and a differential assembly configured and arranged to set the input to output speed ratio of the input/output planetary ratio assembly based at least in part on the axial load force of the torque feedback control assembly.
