starter

The starter motor is an electric motor that sets a vehicle's internal combustion engine in motion during the starting process. It ensures that the crankshaft rotates, allowing the engine to start and run independently.

When the vehicle is started, the starter motor is supplied with electrical energy via the vehicle battery. An electromagnetic solenoid switch activates the starter motor and simultaneously engages a pinion gear with the ring gear of the flywheel. This transfers the starter motor's rotational movement to the engine.

Once the engine has started, the pinion automatically disengages from the ring gear so that the starter motor stops running. Modern starter motors are powerfully designed and built for numerous starting cycles and high loads.

A faulty starter motor can prevent the engine from starting or cause it to start only with difficulty. In such cases, replacing the starter motor is often the most reliable solution.
