Manufacturing a steel sheet for a steel belt includes hot rolling a steel slab containing, in mass %, 0.60 to 0.80% of C, 1.0% or less of Si, 0.10 to 1.0% of Mn, 0.020% or less P, 0.010% or less S, 0.1 to 1.0% of Cr, 0 to 0.5% of V, 0 to 0.1% of Ti, 0 to 0.1% of Nb, and 0 to 0.01% of B, the balance Fe and unavoidable impurities, under a finish hot rolling temperature of 800 to 900 C. An average cooling rate from finish rolling to coiling is 20 C. per second or more. A coiling temperature is 450 to 650 C. The hot-rolled slab is cold rolled with a total rolling reduction ratio of 40% or more and a reduction ratio per one pass of less than 12%, without performing a heat treatment. The cold-rolled slab is aged at 200 to 500 C. for 0.5 to 30 hours.

Disclosed is an endless metal belt (101, 102) which has a length/circumference (l1) and a width (b1) and which is produced by welding a number of individual metal belt parts (2). A rolling direction (3) of the individual metal belt parts (2) and the weld seams (4) extend transversely to the length/circumference (l1) of the metal belt (101, 102). Also disclosed is a method for producing an endless metal belt (101, 102) of said type.

The invention relates to a method of production for attachment by cohesive bonding of a profile having at least one profile element onto a toothed belt previously produced as a semi-finished product. The toothed belt has a tooth side with a toothing and a toothed belt back located on the back of the tooth side of the toothed belt. In the method of production the at least one profile element is built up layer by layer from at least one first profile element layer and a second profile element layer on the toothed belt back, by the application of an application compound to the toothed belt back at a profile element position by melt layer printing.

Described herein is a motor comprising a first rotatable member and an anchor, spaced apart from the first rotatable member. The motor also comprises a belt, in tension about the first rotatable member and the anchor. The belt is co-rotatably engaged with the first rotatable member. Further, the belt is made from a shape-memory alloy. Additionally, the motor comprises a thermal regulation device, positioned between spaced-apart first and second portions of the belt. The thermal regulation device is also configured to concurrently cool the first portion of the belt to contract the first portion of the belt and heat the second portion of the belt to expand the second portion of the belt. Concurrent contraction and expansion of the first and second portions of the belt cause rotation of the belt.

A metal belt for a continuously variable transmission includes a metal element wound around a drive pulley and a driven pulley and transmits a driving force between the two pulleys, in which a rocking edge is provided at the radially outer end of a front face of a body part. The rocking edge being a fulcrum for pitching of the metal element, and a recess is formed in a rear face of a neck part, and therefore, when the metal element on the rear side is displaced toward the radially outer side with respect to the metal element on the front side, the rocking edge of the metal element on the rear side enters a ring slot and the recess of the metal element on the front side, and the metal element on the rear side moves so as to be closer to the metal element on the front side.

The invention relates to a method of producing an endless belt (1) from at least two plate-shaped metal plates (2, 3, 4), and the at least two metal plates (2, 3, 4) are introduced into one of two opposing fixtures of at least one removable connection element (5a, 5b), one edge (9, 10, 11, 12) of each leading, and form a composite board (6), whereupon free end edges (7, 8) of the composite board (6) which lie opposite the edges (9, 10, 11, 12) of the metal plates disposed in the at least one connection element (5) are bent towards one another and welded together, whereupon the at least one connection element (5a, 5b) is removed and the edges (9, 10, 11, 12) of the metal plates (2, 3, 4) connected to one another beforehand by the at least one connection element (5) are bent towards one another and welded together.
