    Motor Starter Components and Function

    The document discusses the main components and working principle of a starter motor in an automobile. The starter switch is activated by the ignition key which sends current to the solenoid. This causes the solenoid plunger to engage the drive pinion gear, connecting the starter motor to the flywheel and cranking the engine. The main components include the solenoid, pull-in and hold-in coils, plunger, commutator, brushes, drive pinion gear, and motor housing. The starter motor uses electricity from the battery to turn the engine until it starts on its own.

    Motor starter – in an automobile, we know that engine can not running is self.

    The engine need a


    support to get running. Starting system is used as supported to the engine to life. The starting
    system work with a motor located the end of the flywheel. This motor, move by electric curent. So
    we can said, that starting system is an automobile electric system.

    Working Principicle Of Starter Motor

    The starter switch is usually worked by the ignition key. Turn the key beyond the 'ignition on'
    position and then, curent will flow to the solenoid. The ignition switch has a return spring, so that as
    soon as you release the key it springs back and turns the starter switch off.

    When the switch feeds current to the solenoid, the electromagnet are attracts. The movement of
    the rod closes two heavy contacts, completing the circuit from the battery to the starter. The rod
    also has a return spring -when the ignition switch stops feeding current to the solenoid, the contacts
    open and the starter motor stops.

    The return springs are needed because the starter motor must not turn more than it has to in order
    to start the engine. The reason is partly that the starter uses a lot of electricity, which quickly runs
    down the battery.

    Also, if the engine starts and the starter motor stays engaged, the engine will spin the starter so fast
    that it may be badly damaged.

    Main Components Of Starting System

    According to Autoexpose, there are several part of starter motor.

    Solenoid starter pushing the pinnion drive gear and give voltage on
    main motor.
    Pull in coil pushing the plunger to push the drive pinion gear
    Hold in coil withstand the movement of the pull in coil and
    connect the battery current to the main motor
    Solenoid plunger connecting the movement of pull in coil to drive
    lever. In other words, this part only acts as a
    connecting rod
    Solenoid cap There are 3 terminal, also used as a media liaison
    between the current from the system to the starter
    actuator.
    Field coil series of magnetic coils used to generate magnetism
    around the coil rotor, but this part is static so its only
    to form magnetism inside of motor.
    Armature commonly referred to as a coil rotor or coil located
    around the motor shaft. Also as a magnetic field
    generator that will be reacted with magnet field coil
    for the occurrence of movement.
    Commutators connecting the electrical current from the brush to
    the armature coil. The commutators have
    segmented form to prevents short circuiting of
    electric current because in the process the
    commutator will be connected to positive and
    negative currents directly.
    Drive lever It will bring up the pinion gear when the other end is
    pushed in opposite directions, while solenoid
    plunger moving.
    Brushses used to connect the electrical current from a static
    conductor to a dynamic conductor
    Drive pinion clutch A mechanical clutch that has function to connecting
    and disconnecting rotation from the starter shaft to
    the flywheel
    Drive pinion gear The function of this pinnion gear is to connect the
    rotation of the generated electric motor to the engine
    crankshaft via flywheel
    Motor housing It has the function as a protective part and as a
    place to put various components of starter

    13 parts of starter motor above, are basic components. So in the new model of starting system,
    maybe have additional parts.
