Forklift Starters

Starter for Forklift - Today's starter motor is usually a permanent-magnet composition or a series-parallel wound direct current electrical motor with a starter solenoid mounted on it. When current from the starting battery is applied to the solenoid, mainly through a key-operated switch, the solenoid engages a lever which pushes out the drive pinion that is situated on the driveshaft and meshes the pinion using the starter ring gear which is found on the flywheel of the engine.

The solenoid closes the high-current contacts for the starter motor, which begins to turn. After the engine starts, the key operated switch is opened and a spring in the solenoid assembly pulls the pinion gear away from the ring gear. This action causes the starter motor to stop. The starter's pinion is clutched to its driveshaft by an overrunning clutch. This allows the pinion to transmit drive in only one direction. Drive is transmitted in this particular manner through the pinion to the flywheel ring gear. The pinion remains engaged, for instance for the reason that the operator did not release the key once the engine starts or if the solenoid remains engaged for the reason that there is a short. This causes the pinion to spin independently of its driveshaft.

This above mentioned action prevents the engine from driving the starter. This is actually an important step because this kind of back drive would allow the starter to spin really fast that it can fly apart. Unless adjustments were made, the sprag clutch arrangement would preclude utilizing the starter as a generator if it was made use of in the hybrid scheme discussed prior. Usually a standard starter motor is meant for intermittent utilization which will stop it being utilized as a generator.

The electrical components are made in order to function for around thirty seconds in order to stop overheating. Overheating is caused by a slow dissipation of heat is because of ohmic losses. The electrical parts are designed to save cost and weight. This is the reason nearly all owner's handbooks utilized for vehicles recommend the operator to pause for a minimum of 10 seconds after every 10 or 15 seconds of cranking the engine, when trying to start an engine which does not turn over right away.

In the early 1960s, this overrunning-clutch pinion arrangement was phased onto the market. Prior to that time, a Bendix drive was used. The Bendix system functions by placing the starter drive pinion on a helically cut driveshaft. When the starter motor starts turning, the inertia of the drive pinion assembly enables it to ride forward on the helix, thus engaging with the ring gear. When the engine starts, the backdrive caused from the ring gear enables the pinion to go beyond the rotating speed of the starter. At this instant, the drive pinion is forced back down the helical shaft and therefore out of mesh with the ring gear.

In the 1930s, an intermediate development between the Bendix drive was developed. The overrunning-clutch design which was developed and introduced in the 1960s was the Bendix Folo-Thru drive. The Folo-Thru drive has a latching mechanism along with a set of flyweights within the body of the drive unit. This was better in view of the fact that the typical Bendix drive used so as to disengage from the ring when the engine fired, even though it did not stay running.

The drive unit if force forward by inertia on the helical shaft when the starter motor is engaged and begins turning. Afterward the starter motor becomes latched into the engaged position. Once the drive unit is spun at a speed higher than what is attained by the starter motor itself, like for instance it is backdriven by the running engine, and next the flyweights pull outward in a radial manner. This releases the latch and allows the overdriven drive unit to become spun out of engagement, hence unwanted starter disengagement can be avoided before a successful engine start.
