Abstract
A toroidal transmission, especially for motor vehicles, comprising an input shaft which can be connected to an engine, a first toroidal variator and a second toroidal variator which are connected to the input shaft on the input side. A first output shaft can be connected to the output of the first toroidal variator, and a second output shaft can be connected to the output of the second toroidal variator. The toroidal transmission comprises a first power range shifter for the first toroidal variator and a second power range shifter for the second toroidal variator. The first power range shifter and the second power range shifter have a common clutch.

A toroidal transmission, comprising an input shaft which can be connected to an engine, a first toroidal variator and a second toroidal variator which are connected to the input shaft on the input side, a first output shaft which can be connected to the output of the first toroidal variator, and a second output shaft which can be connected to the output of the second toroidal variator, wherein the toroidal transmission comprises a first power range shifting means for the first toroidal variator and a second power range shifting means for the second toroidal variator, wherein the first power range shifting means and the second power range shifting means have a common clutch, and the common clutch is a low-range clutch, which is capable of connecting the input shaft to an input of a first summing gear set of the first power range shifting means and to an input of a second summing gear set of the second power range shifting means, or separating it therefrom.
A toroidal transmission, comprising an input shaft which can be connected to an engine, a first toroidal variator and a second toroidal variator which are connected to the input shaft on the input side, a first output shaft which can be connected to the output of the first toroidal variator, and a second output shaft which can be connected to the output of the second toroidal variator, wherein the toroidal transmission comprises a first power range shifting means for the first toroidal variator and a second power range shifting means for the second toroidal variator, wherein the first power range shifting means and the second power range shifting means have a common clutch, wherein the first power range shifting means and the second power range shifting means each have a high-range clutch, which is capable of connecting the output of the first toroidal variator and the second toroidal variator respectively to the associated output shaft or separating it therefrom.
A toroidal transmission, comprising an input shaft which can be connected to an engine, a first toroidal variator and a second toroidal variator which are connected to the input shaft on the input side, a first output shaft which can be connected to the output of the first toroidal variator, and a second output shaft which can be connected to the output of the second toroidal variator, wherein the toroidal transmission comprises a first power range shifting means for the first toroidal variator and a second power range shifting means for the second toroidal variator, wherein the first power range shifting means and the second power range shifting means have a common clutch, wherein a locking clutch is provided between the outputs of the first toroidal variator and the second toroidal variator.
