The influence of materials and contact geometry of rollers on traction curve is studied for the purpose of achieving high function and light weight in traction drive. Two traction oils, Santorac50 and Daphne7074, are used, and steel, zirconia and silicon nitride are used as the materials of rollers. The elastic shear moduli of two lubricants are presented. The contact geometry of rollers does not greatly influence the traction curve, while their elastic modulus and thermal conductivity consider-ably influence the initial slope and the maximum traction coefficient of the traction curve, respectively.
