A half-toroidal traction drive CVT has a feature of small spin at traction pitch in whole speed ratio range of 1:4, which suits to transmit high rotational speed with minimum temperature increase of traction surface. Research activity on traction drive CVT has commenced in 1996 for applying it to an aircraft 24,000rpm constant-speed generator instead of a hydro-static transmission. This paper shows fundamental design of 90kW traction drive integrated drive generator, ``T-IDG", and stability analysis on a sensor-less electro-hydraulic speed control servo-mechanism by bond graphs. The performance test of T-IDG mounted on a test bench and an actual jet engine proved that the control system using sensor-less servomechanism can keep the generator speed within MIL-STD-704E allowable limit against steep changes of speed and load.
