How a starter motor

works
The starter motor is an electric motor used to start an internal combustion engine
by turning electrical energy into mechanical rotation.

Main components and functions of a starter motor.

The main components of a starter motor are:

2
1 ROTOR 3
5
2 STATOR 1

3 BRUSHES

4 COIL 4

5 DRIVE GEAR

The operating logic of a starter motor is as follows:

1) An electric current is sent to the starter motor
2) The coil is then energized, which moves the drive gear of the starter motor forwards
3) The electrical current also powers the rotor and stator which generates a magnetic field
4) The magnetic field makes the rotor rotate; this is connected to the drive gear, which is now
engaged on the ring gear of the engine flywheel
5) The rotation of the starter motor allows the engine to be started
6) Once the engine has been started and is running, the current powering the starter motor is cut
7) The magnetic field of the stator and coil is interrupted
8) The starter motor drive gear returns inside the motor and stops rotating

Get the most from your

starter motor
Periodically check that the electrical contacts of the starter motor are clean and firmly fastened.

If you hear metallic noises or excessive vibration during engine starting, this could be due
to some mechanical defects of the starter motor; check with your FPT workshop, and have
the starter motor replaced if necessary.

Ensure that the starter motor is clean and free of any oil and fuel, in order to prevent the risk
of ignition/fire hazards.
