| Abstract;World's first electronically controlled belt CVT System (hereinafter referred to as Honda S MATIC) for 250cm3 class scooters has been developed in FORZA 2004 model. Honda S MATIC employed a rubber belt with a high friction coefficient and pulleys made of aluminum alloy. It was placed inside the unit-swing type engine, which is the same type as conventional scooters. For shift changing, pitch circle diameter of the driving pulley was adjusted by a motor. Preparing several selectable shift modes, suitable shifting characteristics could be obtained at flat road or mountain road. Furthermore, because of the elimination of ratio change due to aging, Honda S MATIC provides several advantages such as little reduction in maximum speed, no change in shifting characteristics, and no change in clutch connection point. Exceeding the conventional CVTs, Honda S MATIC has simultaneously satisfied low fuel consumption, low emissions, low noise and excellent engine performance. (author abst.) |
