(The amount of elastic deformation in the axial direction of the portion near the outer diameter of the other input side disk 2c can be reduced).
- the female spline portion 12a is formed in the axially intermediate portion of the inner peripheral surface of the center hole 19, and the other axial end edge of the female spline groove constituting the female spline portion 12a
- the one end surface in the axial direction of the locking ring 15 is separated from each other in the axial direction. For this reason, even if the portion near the outer diameter of the input side disk 2c is elastically deformed toward the other side in the axial direction based on the thrust generated by the pressing device 9a, the female spline groove constituting the female spline portion 12a.
- the other end edge in the axial direction of the engagement ring 15 does not bite into one end face in the axial direction of the locking ring 15. Also from this surface, the occurrence of fretting wear between the input side disk 2c and the locking ring 15 is prevented.
- the disk-side cylindrical surface portion 21 is provided having an inner diameter larger than the root circle diameter d max of the female spline portion 12a.
- the disk side cylindrical surface portion 21 formed at one end in the axial direction is the outer peripheral surface of the input rotary shaft 1b.
- the male spline portion 13a is externally fitted with a gap fit to a portion adjacent to one end side in the axial direction.
- a shaft-shaped cylindrical surface portion having a circular shape centered on the central axis of the input rotation shaft 1b and having an outer diameter that does not change in the axial direction is formed, and the outer diameter of the shaft-side cylindrical surface portion in a free state is set.
- the disc-side cylindrical surface portion 21 may be slightly larger than the inner diameter in the free state so that the disc-side cylindrical surface portion 21 is externally fitted to the shaft-side cylindrical surface portion by press-fitting.
- the concentricity of the other input-side disc 2c and the input rotating shaft 1b can be improved (the amount of eccentricity and the inclination angle between the central shafts).
- Various performances of the toroidal continuously variable transmission can be further improved. For example, it is possible to reduce the swinging motion of the other input side disk 2c, thereby reducing the vibration and improving the accuracy of the gear ratio control.
- a loading nut 11 can also be used.
- the present invention is not limited to a half toroidal continuously variable transmission, but can be applied to a full toroidal continuously variable transmission.
