In an aspect, an isolator is provided, comprising a hub, a pulley, an isolation spring and a transition spring. The hub defines an axis and is connectable to a rotatable shaft of a rotary device. The pulley is rotatably mounted to the hub. The isolation spring and transition spring act in series in a torque path between the pulley and the hub. The isolation spring has a first spring rate. The transition spring has a second spring rate that is lower than the first spring rate.
