Abstract
In known combinations of a planetary gear transmission with a continuously variable friction drive transmission, unsatisfactory accuracy in operation and excessive overall dimensions are found to be disadvantageous.
The transmission according to the invention comprises a planetary gear transmission (11) operatively connected to a continuously variable friction drive transmission (12) with spherical rolling members (19).
The transmission according to the invention is finely or infinitesimally adjustable over a wide range of positive or negative transmission ratios and particularly suitable for employ in a closed control system.
