Elastomeric bearings make torque loads more nearly equal. Bearings couple drive shaft with ring spur gear. Inner elastomeric bearing radially stiff and circumferentially compliant, while outer elastomeric bearings circumferentially stiff and radially compliant. Combination accommodates minor variations in dimensions and placements of gears, shafts, and other components.
