This extraordinarily light
weight starter was specifically designed to meet rigorous demands of todays
weight sensitive aircraft designs. Weighing only 10.2 pounds, B & C
starters develop more torque than standard starters. The first lightweight
starter to be developed, the B & C starter has been in production for
over 16 years. It is manufactured from 100% new components and features total
ball-bearing construction. The pinion gear is mechanically engaged with
the ring gear before power is applied to the motor. Cantilevered pinion
gear mounting requires no forward shaft support bearing thus eliminating
cowl interference. If battery failure precedes engine starting, a positive
spring retraction system insures pinion gear disengagement. STCd and PMAd
versions for installation on certificated aircraft are available. STCd for aircraft powered by any of the following
series of Lycoming engines: |
