2020 Swerve Module
Our 2020 Swerve modules are redesigned from the ground up. Key benefits are reduced mass, low profiles and improved reliability of the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) drive. This is the output of a team development project conducted over the past two years.

A major change is in the CVT reduction is achieved. The same CVT pulley is used as in previous models, but in lieu using a pair of servo-driven "pinch pulleys" which tension the CVT's V-belt in order to affect change in reduction (by spreading the CVT pulley halves), the C-C distance of the CVT belt loop is changes by shifting the position of the drive motor
