Yanmar was founded in March 1912 in Osaka, Japan, [2] by Magokichi Yamaoka. [3] [4] When the company began in 1912, it manufactured gasoline-powered engines. [5] In 1920 the company began production of a small kerosene engine. [6] In 1933, it launched the world's first practical small diesel engine, the HB model. [5] [7] [8]
An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.
A Yanmar 2GM20 marine diesel engine, installed in a sailboat. The center pulley is the crankshaft , the lower left one the seawater pump , the upper right one the alternator . The Yanmar 2GM20 is a series of inboard marine diesel engines manufactured by the Japanese company Yanmar Co. Ltd.
The starter motor is a series, compound, or permanent magnet type electric motor with a solenoid and solenoid operated switch mounted on it. When low-current power from the starting battery is applied to the starter solenoid, usually through a key-operated switch, the solenoid closes high-current contacts for the starter motor and it starts to ...
An electric starter with sufficient power to turn a large diesel engine would itself be so large as to be impractical so there is a need for an alternative system. An air start system has three main components along with various safety components, namely the air start injector, the distributor and the air receivers.
A Bendix drive is a type of engagement mechanism used in starter motors of internal combustion engines.The device allows the pinion gear of the starter motor to engage or disengage the ring gear (which is attached to the flywheel or flexplate of the engine) automatically when the starter is powered or when the engine fires, respectively.
A motor soft starter is a device used with AC electrical motors to temporarily reduce the load and torque in the powertrain and electric current surge of the motor during start-up. This reduces the mechanical stress on the motor and shaft, as well as the electrodynamic stresses on the attached power cables and electrical distribution network ...
A magnetic starter has a contactor and an overload relay, which will open the control voltage to the starter coil if it detects an overload on a motor. [1] [2] The overload relay opens a set of contacts that are wired in series with the supply to the contactor feeding the motor. The characteristics of the heaters can be matched to the motor so ...
