In an element of a power transfer belt to be wound around a primary pulley and a secondary pulley of a continuously variable transmission to transfer torque, the distance from a boundary line between a surface positioned on the outer peripheral side of the power transfer belt with respect to a rocking edge portion and the rocking edge portion to a saddle surface is determined from the slip amount due to micro slip which is relative slipping between the element and the primary pulley caused when the primary pulley pushes out the power transfer belt toward the secondary pulley, and the angular speed of the element and the angular speed of a ring in a range in which the power transfer belt is wound around the secondary pulley.
A method of designing an element of a power transfer belt to be wound around a primary pulley and a secondary pulley of a continuously variable transmission to transfer torque, the element having a saddle surface that contacts a ring that bounds a plurality of the elements annularly and a rocking edge portion formed on one of a front surface and a back surface of the element and including a contact line on which adjacent elements contact each other and which serves as a support point for turning motion of the adjacent elements, wherein
A power transfer belt that includes a plurality of elements and a ring that binds the plurality of elements annularly, the power transfer belt being wound around a primary pulley and a secondary pulley of a continuously variable transmission to transfer power, wherein:
