Abstract

A method of controlling a variator that requires clamping pressure between a first component and a second component to transfer torque therebetween, such as a continuously variable transmission, includes calculating a theoretical clamping pressure, and multiplying the theoretical clamping pressure by a multiplier to define a commanded clamping pressure. The multiplier includes a value that is variable between a minimum multiplier value and a maximum multiplier value. The value of the multiplier is based on current operating conditions of the variator. The commanded clamping pressure is applied to the first component and the second component to generate friction and transfer torque between the first component and the second component.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a method of controlling a transmission, such as a continuously variable transmission, that requires clamping pressure between a first member and a second member to transmit torque between the first member and the second member. Background technique [0002] A speed change device is a mechanical device that changes an operating parameter, or a mechanical device that changes the operating parameter of another device. An example of a transmission device is a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is a mechanical power transmission device for transmitting torque from an engine to an output such as a wheel. A CVT can continuously change between an infinite number of gear ratios. Typically, a transmission includes a first component, such as a drive belt, that is compressed by a second component, such as between two sheaves of a variable width pulley, to transmit torque between them. [0003] A clamping fo...
