Varionova develops next-generation, AI-ready transmission systems, that can revolutionize the mechanical systems they become part of. Our breakthrough RatioZero technology enables smooth, efficient, gearless control for mobility, machines and robots. But there's much more to it.
Trusted by leading research institutions and industrial partners
Traditional transmissions have high efficiency but fixed gears. CVTs offer stepless ratio variation, but with low efficiency because of inherent friction. We have created the first, commercially viable, gear-based CVT: continuous, but efficient. Our technology is a game changer and opens to countless new possibilities.
Unprecedented approach based on the "split rotation" principle. First gear-based CVT.
Optimal gearing + minimal friction -> improved overall efficiency and less heat.
The shape-based load transfer mechanism can be made to withstand any torque.
Shifting forces independent from load forces, for a smooth shifting under load and an easy control.
A variable-ratio, gear-based, near-zero-backlash transmission for smooth, precise, stepless control. Designed for mobility, heavy-duty, and industrial automation.
A reversible self-adapting transmission, based on another clever variation of the epyciclic gearing. Designed for robotics, mobility, and other applications.
Our technology adapts to diverse mechanical challenges across industries
A never-seen-before transmission for e-bike: efficient as a cassette and smooth as a CVT, allowing optimal use of the motor and battery and a totally new pedalling experience.
An efficient and compact CVT-type transmission, allowing for continuous ratio change thus keeping the working conditions optimal for the EV powertrain, maximising performance and range.
The RatioZero allows to reverse the current approach to PTO: the engine can run at a fixed (optimal) ratio, and the highly-efficient CVT ensures to match the implement with high-efficiency, mechanical power transfer.
Both conventional and electrified machines use this kind of sub-system, often with variable axle piston pumps. The RatioZero allows to shift to a constant speed motor and fixed displacement pump, saving space and costs.
