Abstract
A tension compensating gear set of the eccentric type for use with a flexible power transmission member with a gear member having at least one external circumferential surface in rolling contact with an internal circumferential surface of an annular gear method for controlling tooth meshing while inhibiting noise or vibration. An eccentric gear set is used as a method or means for automatically adjusting for fluctuations in center distance of a power transmission drive system.
