  2. Motor soft starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_soft_starter

    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 ...

  3. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    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 ...

  4. Starter ring gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_ring_gear

    Starter ring gear attached to a flywheel. In cars with a manual transmission, the starter ring gear is fitted to the outer diameter of the flywheel.The ring gear is usually fixed to the flywheel through use of an interference fit, [2] which is achieved by heating the ring gear and so that thermal expansion allows it to be placed around the flywheel.

  5. Starter (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_(engine)

    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.

  6. Korndörfer autotransformer starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korndörfer_Autotransformer...

    Korndorfer starter with motor (M), autotransformer (AT) and three switches (1, 2, 3) In electrical engineering, the Korndorfer starter is a technique used for reduced voltage soft starting of induction motors. The circuit uses a three-phase autotransformer and three three-phase switches. This motor starting method has been updated and improved ...

  7. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)

    In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence."

  8. Coffman engine starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffman_engine_starter

    The Coffman engine starter (also known as a "shotgun starter") was a starting system used on many piston engines in aircraft and armored vehicles of the 1930s and 1940s. It used a cordite cartridge to move a piston, which cranked the engine.

  9. Motor controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_controller

    A motor controller is a device or group of devices that can coordinate in a predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor. [1] A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor, selecting forward or reverse rotation, selecting and regulating the speed, regulating or limiting the torque, and protecting against overloads and electrical ...
