Cvt plate link chain having clean contact between pressure piece and plate

A plate link chain for a motor vehicle drive having a continuously variable transmission, comprising:

• a pressure piece comprising a first bearing face and a second bearing face;
• a plate comprising a third bearing face and a fourth bearing face, the plate being articulated to another plate by the pressure piece, wherein:
• the first bearing face and the third bearing face bear against one another to form a force transmitting outer contact region relative to a rotation direction of the plate link chain;
• the outer contact region forms an outer contact face that is linear or flat and encloses an angle α that is ≥160° and ≤180°;
• the second bearing face and the fourth bearing face bear against one another to form a force transmitting inner contact region relative to the rotation direction;
• and
• the inner contact region forms an inner contact face enclosing an angle β that is ≥90° and ≤135°.
