Starter motor pinion stopper placement

摘要

A starter has an output shaft 3a, an overrunning clutch 4 and a pinion 12 carried on the output shaft, a stopper 21 carried on the output shaft at the front of the pinion to restrict the displacement of the overrunning clutch and the pinion, and a front bearing 16 for supporting the front end of the output shaft. The stopper is formed in a cylindrical shape and is supported by an inner peripheral portion of the front bearing, and a ring 22 for fixing the stopper is fitted into a groove 23a which is formed in the output shaft at the front of the front bearing.
