Abstract

Continuously variable transmission is a type of transmission that can change torque continuously without dividing into gears like a mechanical transmission. This transmission is equipped on modern vehicles, so it requires the transmission to ensure the longevity and durability of internal components. Therefore, this article focuses on analysing the stress, deformation and safety factors of the gearbox pulley corresponding to each manufacturing material. The 3D model with the basic parameters of the pulley is built using SolidWorks software. The finite element method is applied to analyse using Ansys. Based on the simulation results, it shows that when compared with other materials, Stainless Steel still ensures durability and stress, so the study recommends that Stainless Steel be used as a material to manufacture gearbox pulleys in factories.
