A rotary starter typically consists of several key components:
-
Motor: Provides the initial torque to start the engine.
-
Switch: Controls the power flow to the motor, usually activated by the ignition key.
-
Gear Mechanism: Engages and disengages the starter motor with the engine flywheel, allowing for smooth operation.
-
Solenoid: Acts as a relay to connect the battery to the starter motor when the ignition switch is turned on.
Each component works together to ensure the engine starts efficiently.
