variator

This principle is shared by a number of other variator mechanisms.

Oil flow to the variator is controlled by a solenoid.

It is possible to replace the stock variator with an aftermarket item of larger size.

Using stolen information, Harrow developed a "variator ray" to control human emotion.

Despite this limitation, the variator is a relatively simple device to add to an existing engine and so they remain in service today.

In contemporary use, the Beier variator is most widely used as part of an industrial motor drive.

Volkswagen use a variator system with two variators, one for each camshaft.

If the petrol engine sounds like a diesel briefly after starting, it means that the variator is worn and should be replaced.

A proprietary drive variator was adapted to the transmission to allow the use of a steering wheel to control the tracks.

One input disc has a hydraulic piston to squeeze the variator along its length.

Often a variator is a mechanical power transmission device that can change its gear ratio continuously (rather than in steps).

The variator steplessly changes the speed of the left and right tracks, accelerating one track while slowing the other to effect a turn.

In 1897, Stern invented the tone variator, allowing him to research human perception of sound in an unprecedented way.

The variator consists of input and output discs facing each other on the same axis (see diagram).

It is similar to a third brush dynamo but has additional regulator or "variator" windings.

The second method for restricting the speed of this bike, employed by Honda, is the undersized transmission variator.

When worn, the noise remains until about 1500 rpm - the variator is usually quieter when in the advanced position.

Although the variator rarely fails outright, it developed a poor reputation for unreliability and requiring a relatively expensive repair.

A variator is a device that can change its parameters, or can change parameters of other devices.

These engines hardly idle with the variator at On position so on these models it had the meaning also to enhance lower speed operation.

Many production VVT systems are the cam phasing type, using a device known as a variator.

The variator pulley of an iCVT is choked using two small choking pulleys.

Therefore, here significant shock loads are applied to the variator pulley during transmission ratio change that increases the transmission diameter.

Mechanical variators have existed since the 1800s, and they have been used successfully in machinery, particularly the Kopp tilting ball variator.
