The present toroidal-type continuously variable transmission comprises
input and output disks coaxially disposed so as to be opposed to each
other, and a pair of power roller bearings, each power roller bearing
including an inner race, an outer race, and power rollers disposed so as
to roll on the toroidal surfaces of the input and output disks. At least
one of the input and output disks and power rollers are made of
medium-carbon steel containing carbon in an amount ranging from 0.3 wt
%-0.5 wt %, to thereby have a very long life.
