Abstract
A planetary gear set including a plurality of pinions meshing with a sun gear and a carrier C that shaft-supports the pinions. The carrier has an annular peripheral wall that extends entirely around outer peripheries of the plurality of pinions. Thin-wall portions receded at a radially inner side are formed in the annular peripheral wall, at circumferential-direction positions corresponding to the positions of the pinions.
