Starter device with damping component having an hollow gear and an intermediate portion

The machine has a turning pinion (22) engaged in a toothed ring (25) of an internal combustion engine. An epicyclic transmission (83) i.e. planetary gear, comprises ring gears (95) that are supported in temporary storage units (101). The gears and the storage units represent a single-piece plastic injection molded component that comprises damping elements, where the elements are designed as radial ribs, axially extending springy connectors, bending springs or contact members. The connectors run in an annular arrangement between the gears and the storage units.
