What is the function of the starter motor armature?

The starter motor armature is a crucial component that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy to initiate the engine's operation. When the ignition is engaged, the armature rotates within a magnetic field, generating the necessary torque to turn the engine's flywheel. This action helps overcome the engine's inertia and allows it to start running. Once the engine is running, the starter motor disengages to prevent damage.
