Hartzell Permanent Magnet Starters represent the next generation in starter technology, setting new standards in performance and reliability. These new lightweight starters deliver exceptional torque to start virtually any general aviation piston engine in nearly any environment, yet weigh about 40% less than conventional starters. The key is Presicions patented permanent magnet motor design. It replaces the bulky windings of a conventional starter motor with lightweight permanent magnetos. This revolutionary design not only eliminates considerable weight, but results in more efficient starter operation and improved performance under all conditions. During extensive performance testing, Hartzell starters consistently provided quicker engine starts than conventional starters under a variety of operating conditions.
These TBO starters are built to go the distance between engine overhauls. Conventional starters generally dont last. They usually have to be pulled off for repair or replacement at least once during the life of the engine.
