Features: This book is compiled based on the summary of advanced experiences and technologies at home and abroad. It is divided into 9 chapters. Chapters 1 to 3 comprehensively and systematically introduce the significance and classification of stepless transmission, the transmission principles, kinematics, energy relationships, failure modes, design criteria, mechanical characteristics, pressure devices, and high-tension belt mechanisms of mechanical stepless transmission, along with their basic theories and design data. Chapters 4 to 8 introduce approximately 30 structures and design calculations of mechanical stepless transmissions in fixed-axis, planetary, belt, chain, and pulsating types. Chapter 9 covers the selection, testing, and lubrication of mechanical stepless transmissions. Additionally, an appendix is included, summarizing the performance and dimensional parameters of six types of mechanical stepless transmissions from the Mechanical Industry Standards of the People's Republic of China, the testing methods for mechanical stepless transmissions, and the performance and dimensional parameters of a dry friction stepless transmission. The content of this book is advanced, scientific, and practical, making it suitable for engineering technicians engaged in the design, research, manufacturing, and application of mechanical stepless transmission. It can also be used as a learning and reference material for students and teachers of relevant majors in colleges and universities.
