Magneto Rotor

A magneto rotor is a component of a magneto ignition system. It is a rotating disc or wheel that is typically made of metal and is mounted on the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. The magneto rotor is responsible for generating the electrical energy needed to produce a high voltage spark at the spark plugs.

Inside the magneto rotor, there are permanent magnets or electromagnets that create a magnetic field. As the rotor spins, the magnetic field induces an electrical current in the ignition coil, which then amplifies the voltage and sends it to the spark plugs.

The timing of the spark is controlled by the position of the magneto rotor in relation to the engine's piston position. This timing is crucial for the efficient combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders.

Overall, the magneto rotor plays a vital role in the ignition system of an engine, ensuring reliable and consistent spark generation for proper engine operation.
