A Series Starter [CMO] A1-09B1106-TR114-K


Hydraulic Engine Starter

A Series Starter
  • Hydraulic Starters produce higher torque and speed resulting in faster, more efficient engine starting
  • With the addition of a Beryllium Copper pinion, the hydraulic starter meets the requirements of Class 1, Div. 1 environments
  • Unlike alternative starting methods, hydraulic starting systems are nearly unaffected by extreme temperatures
  • With the use of the hand pump, hydraulic starting systems are capable of overcoming a "black start" condition proving to be critical during emergency situations
  • Due to constant lubrication of the moving parts, hydraulic starting systems often survive the life of the engine, which results in less "lifetime cost" when compared to other starting methods
Specific Characteristics:

The A series is not to be underestimated. Although small and extremely light (11 lbs), this starter provides quite a punch with 15 ft-lbs of torque and the ability of turning at 7000 RPM. This translates into extremely fast engine starting of engines up to 9 liters (549 cu. in.). These smaller engines are quite common on lifeboats, which is a prime example when fast starting is paramount.
