A starter (1) includes an output shaft (4) which receives rotational force of a motor portion (3) and rotates, a housing (17) that rotatably supports an end portion (104b) on one side of the output shaft (4), and an electromagnetic device (9) that applies ...

The starter has a starter pinion (22) axially adjustable between inoperative position and advanced drive position. The starter pinion is axially displaceably-arranged against a drive component and axially supported over a spring assembly (302), which exhib...

A solenoid type device as a magnetic switch of a starter 10 comprises an exciting coil 3f that is energized and generates magnetic force, a plunger 3a that is a moving core which is a part of the magnetic circuit, and a fixed core 3j that faces the moving ...

The motor (13) has a hollow drive shaft (37) with a hub (67) at the rear end. Inside the shaft a flexible component is fitted, e.g. a torsion bar (70) which has splines (73) engaging with the hub. At the other end the bar is fitted with a pinion (76) to tr...

A drive pinion assembly 10 for a starter motor has a drive plate 12 adapted to be driven by a shaft of the motor. The drive plate has axially extending projections 22 which co-operate with corresponding projections 34 on a pinion 14, The projections are se...
