Abstract
A planet gear includes a toothed portion having an axial bore, a hub disposed within the axial bore such that a space is defined between the hub and the toothed portion, and an elastomeric isolator disposed in the space. A gear is quieter in operation through configuration such that the gear includes a toothed portion having an axial bore and a hub coaxially orientable within the axial bore, and an elastomeric isolator is positioned between the hub and the toothed portion.
