Description

The benefits that gear-reduced starters offer, over older direct drive type, are well known in the car, LCV and HGV markets. (Smaller, lighter and more efficient = fuel saving)

Based on the success of the M105R starters (producing > 150,000 per year) we have worked hard to expand our gear-reduced starter range and continue doing so to bring you the best product for all your starting needs.

We can now offer heavy duty GR starters from 2.8L up to 32L engines (single starter applications).

As expected from Prestolite, we continue to innovate to offer unique features with nose-less starters, rotatable nose housing and control relay’s giving ultimate flexibility. Advanced clutch and gearbox developments deliver enhanced starting conditions, protecting engines and giving endurance and longevity.

Dual internal fan alternators

At Prestolite we consider ourselves specialists in alternators and regulator technology, with 108 years of experience.

The last decade has seen significant changes in alternator and regulator technology with dual internal fan alternators offering improved cooling better heat dissipation and increased output and a light weight compact design.

Hairpin stator technology is back.

Hairpin stators with rectangular profiled copper bars (hairpins), similar to that found on starter armature design, allows for maximum gap fill, where as traditional copper wire could not fill the slots in the laminations, leaving air gaps.

The use of hairpin stators yield a 50% increase in output vs the same size conventional coil wound stator (AVI147 vs AVI150) or in terms of alternator weight, up to 60% reduction.
