Toroidal continuously variable transmission

A toroidal continuously variable transmission comprising:

• an input shaft;
• an input disk supported on the input shaft;
• an output disk supported relative to the input disk on the input shaft;
• a power roller gripped by the input disk and the output disk;
• a pedestal which supports the power roller such that the power roller is free to rotate;
• a trunnion;
• a first roller bearing which supports the pedestal on the trunnion relative to a horizontal load which forms a right angle to the input shaft, and permits the pedestal to undergo a displacement parallel to the input shaft;
• and
• a second roller bearing which supports the pedestal on the trunnion relative to a vertical load which forms a right angle to the input shaft, and permits the pedestal to undergo a displacement parallel to the input shaft.
