STARTING SYSTEM Function: Bring the engine to cranking r.p.m. (200rpm) so the engine can draw fuel and air and ignite that fuel and air.
Construction (PARTS) • Casing • Drive housing • End cap • Armature • Brushes • Drive • Bushings • Solenoid • Drive fork • Return spring
Parts Pole shoe type • Four pole shoes • Four field windings • Fords movable pole shoe • One pole shoe is moveable • Contact disc • Return spring • Plunger
SOLENOIDS • Types: • Positive engagement • Solenoid Actuated
Function: • Engage starter drive* • Supply current to starter • Disengage the current and drive *not on moveable pole shoe type
Construction • Pull in windings(large) • Hold in windings • Plunger • Return spring • Contact disc
Wind types • Series • Shunt (parallel) • Compound (series/parallel)
Starter drives • Function: • Provide for a positive engagement with the ring gear. • Protect the armature from prolonged engagement.
Starter Armature • Function: Is the moving part of a starter motor. The armature uses an EMF to push and pull itself
Commutator Purpose: The commutator is on the armature, it is used to switch the current paths though the armature windings so that the armature always bends the “Lines of Flux” (carrot in front of the donkey)
