What Are Air Starter Motors?

Air starter motors, also known as pneumatic starters, use compressed air to spin the engine’s flywheel, providing the initial torque to start heavy engines. Unlike electric starters, air starters are well-suited for harsh environments where electrical systems may be vulnerable to damage or spark risks, such as explosive atmospheres or wet conditions.

These starters are commonly used in large diesel engines for mining equipment, heavy machinery, generators, and marine applications.
