Side mounting starter with bevel gear output

摘要

The output rotary shaft of a starter has a pinion slidably mounted so as to engage with the engine ring gear. The output shaft axis intersects that of the armature rotary shaft of the motor. The two shafts are engaged with each other through bevel gears so that the rotation of the armature rotary shaft is transmitted through the output rotary shaft to the pinion, thereby to rotate the engine ring gear. By this structure, the motor can be positioned farther from the gear box casing without an effect on the starter manufacturing cost and efficiency.
