The starter motor is a type of high-torque motor used to start vehicle engines. It’s also called a cranking motor, starting motor, or simply starter. The motor is commonly used in vehicles with internal combustion engines. These engines require an external force to turn them over and start the combustion cycle. The starter motor performs that function perfectly.
The starter motor itself is an assembly of mostly metal parts. It basically consists of an electric motor, a drive mechanism to transfer motion to the engine, and a solenoid to act as a switch and actuator. To increase torque, a gear reduction mechanism is often added to the starter motor assembly.
The starter motor used in automobiles is usually mounted to the engine or transmission. However, it has to be positioned in a way that makes engaging with the ring gear on the flywheel easy. Different engagement methods are used, as we will be seeing shortly.
The starter motor in car starter systems performs two functions:
First, it converts the electric energy from the battery into mechanical energy and second, it provides the mechanism to engage with the flywheel crank the engine. Without the motor’s input, you would have a difficult setting the engine in motion.
The starter motor is a small component yet capable of turning the engine.
