Starter spare parts

Everything you need to know about the car starter

The starter is a key part of the car. As its name suggests, it activates the engine and starts the vehicle.

What is a car starter made of?

A starter is in the form of a small electric motor which starts the car's engine. It is therefore powered by the latter's battery and its role stops as soon as the vehicle is running. Generally speaking, it consists of three essential parts, namely the electric motor, the starter and the solenoid.

— The electric motor is the main component of the car starter. It is connected to the battery by one cable and to the solenoid by another. Its energy consumption varies between 300 and 600 amps, particularly if it is a utility or passenger vehicle. In turn, it is made up of a metal carcass serving as a support for the inductors, an armature composed of windings and a collector on which the brushes rub as well as the front and rear bearing necessary for the rotation of the armature.

— The solenoid: makes the link between the electric motor and the ignition key. It includes: a double winding (starting winding and holding winding) matched with core which allows contact between the pinion and the starter ring gear. And then, a contact allowing the battery circuit to be connected to the inductors, brushes and windings.

— The starter: is the mechanical part which activates the flywheel. For this, it has a freewheel and meshing pinion. Then, a fork routes this assembly in rotation and translation towards the crown of the flywheel.

In the event of a starter failure, simply find the cause and replace the defective parts. To do this, we provide you with a wide range of starter spare parts.
