A diesel engine starter motor (also known as starting motor) is a device used to spin an internal combustion engine to start the engine running under its own power. The starter motor uses the interaction of electromagnetic fields to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The function of the starter motor is to start the diesel engine. Diesel engines require enough cranking speed and torque for the engine to ignite the fuel. As it's exposed to high temperatures, the diesel engine starter motor is easy to wear and tear.

You can buy replacement starter motors for your excavators or other heavy duty equipment. MyMROmarts has various types of starter motors for Perkins, Cummins, John Deere, CAT Caterpillar, Yanmar, Kubota, etc. If you have any problems with purchasing engine starters, please feel free to contact us.
The diesel engine starter motor is mainly composed of three parts: a transmission mechanism, an electromagnetic switch and a DC motor. The working principle of the starter motor is to convert the electrical energy of the battery into mechanical energy, drive the flywheel ring gear on the diesel engine to rotate, and start the diesel engine. The main function of the starter motor is to start the diesel engine. It needs sufficient starting speed and torque to drive the diesel engine to ignite the fuel.
The DC motor on the starter motor generates electromagnetic torque. The transmission mechanism meshes the driving gear of the starter motor with the flywheel ring gear. And the torque of the DC motor of the starter motor was transmitted to the flywheel ring gear of the diesel engine. This drives the crankshaft of the diesel engine to rotate, thereby driving each component of the diesel engine into a working cycle until the diesel engine starts normally. After the diesel engine is started, the starter motor automatically disengages the flywheel ring gear. The electromagnetic switch is responsible for connecting and cutting off the circuit between the DC motor and the battery.
Here is a brief list of some typical faults. This article will specifically explain the causes and solutions of starter failure:
