Abstract
A planetary gear is contacted at its at least one tooth of all its teeth with an end edge facing an inner releasing part of an inner peripheral surface of a receiving hole irrespective of a rotational position of the planetary gear . By doing so, the planetary gear is prevented from moving in the radial direction. As a result, the planetary gear can be prevented from vibrating in the radial direction. Thus, vibrations of a planetary gear apparatus can be reduced, and the planetary gear and a carrier can be reduced in damage.
