Abstract
The present invention relates to a multi-motor driving common load, such as two or more motors, in which CVT is installed between the individual motor and the wheel group at individual load, when the multi-motor, such as two or more motors, installed at the common load structure individually drives the individual load through the arranged CVT to get rotational speed difference, and to make differential speed drive operation through the speed ratio variation by the CVT, and the stabilizing device constituted by torque limited coupling device with sliding damping during sliding is installed between the loads individually driven by the two CVTs.
