Whether you’re replacing a worn-out motor or upgrading your current system, we stock, service, and support a wide range of electric starter motors trusted across Australia’s toughest environments.
What Is a Starter Electric Motor?
A starter electric motor is a high-torque, DC-powered motor designed to crank large internal combustion engines, such as those found in diesel generators, pumps, compressors, and heavy-duty vehicles.
Unlike air or hydraulic starters, electric starter motors offer a simple, battery-operated solution that’s compact, cost-effective, and easy to integrate into a wide variety of applications.
How Do Starter Electric Motors Work?
Electric starter motors convert electrical energy from a battery into mechanical rotational force. This force turns the engine’s flywheel, initiating combustion and starting the motor.
Key components include:
-
Armature and field coils
-
Brushes and commutator
-
Solenoid (engages the flywheel gear)
-
Drive gear (often a Bendix type)
When you turn the ignition switch or press start, the motor kicks into action—fast, efficient, and ready to roll.
