More details about STEM LAB VARIATOR - 3D Mechanical Puzzle UGEARS
The Ugears STEM lab Variator is a completely functional wooden copy of a Belt-driven Friction Cone CVT. The drive ratio is varied by moving the belt or wheel up and down the axis of a conical roller. The belt is powered manually with the help of the reducer. The rotation is then transferred to the cone pulleys. Change the gears with the help of the transmission fork and see how the driven cone pulley speed increases or decreases while the drive cone pulley’s speed stays unchanged. Because of the model’s open design, the whole process is visible in order to satisfy an inquisitive mind!
