Electrical Starter Engine Drive
Item Name Code (INC) 60422
 |
An item designed to transmit the torque developed by a starting motor to a reciprocating type internal combustion engine for the purpose of starting the engine. Clutching, meshing, and disengaging action may be accomplished either mechanically or by means of inertia.
Additional Information for Electrical Starter Engine Drive
An electrical starter engine drive, also known as a starter motor or starter, is a device used in internal combustion engines to start the engine's operation. It is typically an electric motor that is connected to the engine's flywheel or flexplate through a gear mechanism.
When the ignition key is turned or the start button is pressed, an electrical current is sent to the starter motor, which then engages with the flywheel or flexplate. The starter motor uses its rotational force to turn the engine's crankshaft, initiating the combustion process.
The electrical starter engine drive is essential for starting the engine, especially in vehicles with gasoline or diesel engines. It provides the initial mechanical force required to overcome the engine's compression and get it running. Once the engine is running, the starter motor disengages from the flywheel or flexplate.
In addition to starting the engine, the electrical starter engine drive also performs other functions, such as engaging the engine's timing gears or belts and operating various accessories, such as the alternator and power steering pump.
Overall, the electrical starter engine drive is a crucial component in the operation of internal combustion engines, ensuring reliable and efficient engine starting.
