CVT Sliders

KOK manufactures CVT sliders for continuously variable transmissions used in scooters and light mobility applications.

CVT sliders perform the same functional role as rollers within the variator assembly but use a sliding contact geometry rather than rolling motion. Geometry, material behaviour, and dimensional stability are critical to consistent operation.

Manufacturing Scope

KOK CVT sliders are manufactured to customer-defined specifications, supporting both OE production and established aftermarket programs. Production focuses on:

• Dimensional consistency
• Stable sliding surfaces
• Repeatable geometry across matched sets

CVT sliders are supplied as precision components intended for use within defined variator designs.

Construction & Materials

CVT sliders supplied by KOK are produced using engineered polymer materials, selected to provide controlled friction characteristics and wear behaviour under continuous operation. Material selection focuses on:

• Stable sliding interaction with variator ramps
• Resistance to wear and deformation
• Consistent performance over service life

Material systems and geometry are defined according to customer specification.

Quality Control

CVT sliders are manufactured under controlled processes to ensure:

• Consistent dimensions across production batches
• Uniform geometry within sets
• Stable surface characteristics

Quality control processes are aligned with customer requirements for repeatability and reliability.

Design & Specification Support

CVT sliders are manufactured according to customer drawings and technical specifications. Where required, KOK provides manufacturability and material process feedback to support production stability and consistency.
