Sky-tec St5 Series Starters
Overview
| Sky-Tec Flyweight? Starters for Continental aircraft engines feature superior design features over old, heavy, stock OEM starters including: ? Durable, reliable design ? All-in-one bolt-off/bolt-on installation ? Eliminates continuous duty clutch on smaller series engines ?Positive disengagement eliminates wear while your engine is running ?Significant torque increase/multiple gear reduction ?Decreased current draw Safe for ALL TCM starter adapters! ST5 series starters offer the following features: ? Powerful 2.2 kW high-torque, permanent magnet motor ? Faster cranking RPM - typically 10-25% faster than heavyweight starters. ? Light weight (9.1 lbs!); ? Proven gear reduction drive train tempers current draw; ? TCM starter adapter friendly electromechanically engaged/disengaged drive system provides instantaneous release of the starter adaptor wrap spring virtually eliminating starter-induced adapter wear. ? Approved and recommended for ALL starter adaptors ("classic style", "improved style", "permold", "sand cast", etc.) ? A simple, easy-to-install, bolt-off/bolt-on, maintenance-free starter that fits the entire "large" series Continental engines (with right-angle starter adapters) from O-300-D through TSIO-550 engines ? Attractively designed and affordably produced making it the first and only choice in lightweight large Teledyne Continental engine starters. How is the ST5 starter different? The ST5 starter couples a high power 2.2 kW motor with an innovative solenoid-engaged (and disengaged) drive system completely disengages the powerful permanent magnet motor while the starter is unpowered eliminating possible TCM starter adapter wear while providing authoritative, high-torque starting. Positive solenoid enabled engagement and disengagement allows the TCM starter adapter to fully unwrap under all normal operating conditions thus greatly prolonging starter adapter life. How do I know which one to buy? If your TCM engine has a right-angle starter adapter at the rear of the engine and a clean source of nearly located battery voltage, chances are this starter is the right one for your application. Consult their extensive aircraft fit guide just to be sure. |
