The　performance　of　in-line　pulse　CVT　and　its　effect　factors　are　investigated　by　experimental　method.　An　experimental　device　of　in-line　pulse　CVT　is　designed　and　manufactured,　a　pulsating　degree　test　bench　of　the　CVT　is　established,　and　the　pulsating　degree　experiment　of　the　CVT　is　carried　out.　The　experiment　results　show　that　the　pulsating　degree　depends　on　the　distance　between　the　speed　control　point　and　the　input　shaft,　the　pulsating　degree　of　in-line　pulse　CVT　is　less　than　15%.　Experimental　results　verify　that　the　new　structure　of　in-line　pulse　CVT　has　good　work　performance　and　usability.　©　2015　Taylor　&　Francis　Group,　London.
