Field coil reduction gear starter motors - Medium & Heavy Duty
Applications
Diesel engines of 4 to 12 litre displacement.
Options
Pinion, flange, electrical terminals are
customized for specific engines.
Can be equipped with an auxiliary
electro-mechanical start relay which
enables low current (< 2A ) triggering
of the starter motor.
For the nosed version additional
dust protection with a lip seal on the
pinion is available.
Oil-proof versions for wet clutch
applications.
Insulated return versions are
available
Waterproof versions are available.
Features
High specific power output and
efficiency.
Excellent cold crank capability with
low current drain from battery.
Reduced weight and size in
comparison to direct drive starter
motors.
Highly efficient drive assembly for
idle run of the pinion.
Design
Pre-engaged style of a starter motor in
the medium duty version; two-stage
engagement in the heavy duty version.
Nosed or noseless versions for specific
engine applications.
Electrical excitation of the motor part.
Drive assembly with a six roller clutch.
Rubber shock absorber, low-noise,
metallic planetary reduction gear with
pinion and armature in one axis.
Pinion shift mechanismwith solenoid,
fork lever and helix.
Solenoid switch with pull-in and hold-
in winding is designed for effective
breaking of the main contacts.
High quality thermally resistant
materials.
Drive end brackets made of grey cast
iron (GCI), nodular cast iron (NCI) or die
cast aluminium (DCA).
Water protection is achieved with drain
holes, O-rings and a rubber boot.
End-of-life Directive 2000/53/EC
respected, and also free from asbestos,
beryllium and ammonia.
The heavy duty version uses two-
stage soft engagement. It controls the
starting process and prevents damage
and overloading of the starter pinion
and the engine ring gear.
