To provide a pressure belt, in which layered length of elements and center distance between pulleys coincide with each other even when thickness of the elements is dispersed.

This device comprises an annular carrier 5, and a number of elements 6 (6A and 6B) layered in the circumferential direction of the carrier 5, and a pressure belt 4 is wrapped around the pulleys 2 and 3 for transmission of power between the pulleys 2 and 3 by pressing force of the elements 6 to each other. In a case where it is equally parted into a plurality of sections in the circumferential direction, at least one of the sections includes a part where the layered length L1 of the elements 6 coincide with the center distance CD between the pulleys 2 and 3.
