Claim Text:
1. A mating component mateable to another component to share a same axis of rotation, the mating component comprising: a hub having a plate portion terminating in an engaging portion defining either the innermost or outermost radially oriented surface thereof and defining an endless channel concentric about the axis of rotation and recessed into the innermost or outermost radially oriented surface, wherein a surface of the endless channel defines one or more-trenches therein; one or more elastomer members compressed axially against the plate portion by one or more inertia members; an endless elastomeric band seated concentrically about the axis of rotation in the endless channel against the surface defining the one or more trenches in an uncompressed state; wherein the endless elastomeric band has a thickness relative to the endless channel, when seated therein in the uncompressed state, that defines an unchanneled portion of the elastomeric band extending beyond the inner or outer dimension defined by the innermost or outermost radially oriented surface of the hub, and the unchanneled portion has a volume that is equal to or less than the total volume of the one or more trenches.
