A small backlash planetary gear assembly can achieve a large torque capacity while minimizing backlash. The small backlash planetary gear assembly has an assembly housing, an internal gear, a sun gear arranged inside of the internal gear in concentric fashion, a plurality of planet gears meshing with the internal gear and the sun gear, and a carrier rotatably supporting the planet gears. The internal gear includes an annular boss fixed to said assembly housing, a thin wall annular body portion extending from one axial end of the boss in cantilever fashion and internal gear teeth formed on the inner peripheral surface of the annular body portion so that the thin wall annular body portion may absorb tolerance in assembling and tolerance in gear machining in respective components by resilient deformation.
