Naudic rotorCVT Frequently Asked Questions
What’s so special about this technology?
The Naudic rotorCVT is a completely new concept that outperforms conventional dry-running rubber belt and pulley systems. It eliminates the ‘traction fluid’ required in conventional CVTs.
Can this new technology really produce more than 18% fuel savings as claimed?
Yes, because it’s a design that delivers operating efficiencies greater than those of conventional CVTs,which have proven to save up to18%.
Where can I purchase a Naudic rotorCVT?
The Naudic rotorCVT technology is available for any licensed application, world-wide, from Barloworld CVT Technologies. The company does not manufacture or distribute transmissions. Its business is to LICENSE interested parties to do so.
Does this new CVT drain power like its predecessors?
In the typical example of a conventional CVT fitted to an offroad quad, where the ratio is increased automatically when the rpm is increased, the Naudic rotorCVT has an adjustment mechanism which maintains full, direct drive power at all times. The operator can engage any ratio at any time without any power loss
What kind of applications can I use it for?
The Naudic rotorCVT can be used in the following applications:
- Small and Micro Cars
- Leisure market, quads and ATVs
- Self-propelled lawnmowers
- Small agricultural vehicles and machines
- Construction vehicles and equipment
- Industrial machines
What about reduction gearing typically needed with CVTs?
Final drive reduction gearing is eliminated in the Naudic rotorCVT, which enables internal reduction (typically 30:1 in low ratio).
Is the rotorCVT reliable?
The simplicity of Naudic rotorCVT design eliminates backlash through spring-loading of moving parts, and outputs a perfectly flat velocity profile. This, together with components which are mainly off-the-shelf items, means a highly robust and reliable design.
