<p>The starter comprises a flywheel rotated by an electric motor and an electromagnetic clutch for rendering the flywheel rigid with the crankshaft of the engine to be started. The flywheel carries on one side the armature of the motor and on the opposite side the inductor of the clutch. The motor inductor is carried by a flat disc which is parallel to the flywheel and defines a planar airgap of the motor. The flywheel has a part which is common to the magnetic circuits of the motor armature and the clutch inductor and has sufficient section to permit the circulation of the motor or clutch magnetic flux but is saturated by the circulation of the flux of the motor so that a remanent flux of the clutch will be cancelled out as soon as the magnetic flux of the motor is produced.</p> |
