VARIABLE SPEED TRANSMISSION solves every problem of speed variation. It is a real speed regulator—one that may be applied to any machine and any desired speed secured in a moment, without stopping, not one revolution too fast nor one revolution too slow.
The construction and operation are very simple. Two pairs of cone-faced discs are mounted on parallel shafts in such manner that they are movable. A special V-shaped belt drives from one pair of discs to the other. Two pairs of levers, operated by a right-and left-threaded screw, move the discs so that as one pair separates the other pair is brought together an equal distance, thus changing the belt to different driving diameters and increasing or diminishing the speed of the variable shaft as desired. The speed is regulated by turning a hand wheel in one direction to increase and the other to reduce the speed.
“The Reeves“ Transmission is used as a countershaft. You belt from the line shaft or motor to one shaft, which is driven at a constant speed, and the other shaft is variable. From the variable shaft, you belt to the machine to be driven.
The Transmission is built in fourteen sizes to transmit from 2 H. P. to 150 H. P.; and seven classes to provide variation of 2 to 1 or as high as 10 to 1. It may hang from the ceiling, stand on the floor or be built into the machine it is to regulate. |
