Abstract
A pressure piece for articulated connection of links of a CVT plate-link chain for a drive train of a motor vehicle includes a center, a pressure piece lower portion with a lower thickness, a pressure piece upper portion with an upper thickness, and a thickness ratio between the lower thickness and the upper thickness. The lower thickness is measured at a predefined distance below the center when viewed in a vertical direction, and is measured perpendicular to the vertical direction. The upper thickness is measured at the predefined distance above the center when viewed in the vertical direction, and is measured perpendicular to the vertical direction. The thickness ratio is greater than 1/1.09.
