SUMMARY

Continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) are indeed available as separate components, allowing for variable gear ratios controlled by electrical signals. The discussion highlights the PIV Drive's 9000 series gearbox as a specific example of such technology. This gearbox is designed to provide seamless gear ratio adjustments, enhancing motor output efficiency. The integration of electrical control systems in these gearboxes represents a significant advancement in mechanical engineering.

I'm sure many of you are aware of CVTs or continuously variable transmissions. Many of you are also aware, I am sure, of off-the-shelf gearboxes which you can use to step up/down (typically) the output of a motor.

Do they have a device which allows a variable gear ratio, especially one controlled by an electrical signal?
