Primary Advantages of the Traction Drive
Negligible Transmission Error
- Smooth rolling contact allows for negligible transmission error
- Eliminates speed irregularity inherent in gear transmissions
- Great fit in application where the angular velocity ratio is important
Minimal Noise Generated
- Removal of the gear mesh minimizes noise and vibration
- The noise generated will be in the 40–50 dB-A range
- In comparison to gear transmissions which generally fall in the 60–80 dB-A range
