What type of motor is used in a starter motor?
None, it is an electric motor In fact, most cars have SERIES connected starter motors - an electric motor where the field windings (the ones that are fitted to the case of the machine and don't move) have the same current flowing in them that the armature (the rotating part of the motor) has. A series motor has very high starting torque, so it's ideal for getting a large lump of scrap metal turning over, but it has poor running (high speed) torque and poor speed control. (Speed control is so poor that if you spin up a starter motor without a load, it may over-speed and possibly throw its windings out of the armature!) Some starter motors use permanent magnets for the field system - these magnets are quite powerful and give the motor good starting torque, and magnet systems are smaller than the series coil systems, and make the starter motor a bit lighter and cheaper. These motors also have a lower top speed at no load, too.
You just had your starter rebuild you can hear starter motor spinning but the car motor will not turn over you turned the car motor over by using a socket on the crank pulley it turn over easy?
The problem is in the starter drive (sometimes called bendix). Take the starter back to wherever it was rebuilt and have it repaired or exchanged.
Why does the starter motor click instead of turning engine over on my R reg peugoet 106?
Starter motor problems usually are indicated by the following symptom: Turn the key to the START position and you hear a loud click, or sometimes you hear nothing. The headlights are bright and don't dim when you turn the key to START, and everything else electrical seems to work fine. It could be a bad starter neutral switch or a bad key switch but about 99% of the time it's a bad starter or starter solenoid. Here is the procedure for checking out a starter motor and its solenoid. Problems in a starter motor normally involve a "bad spot" on the commutator, the electrical section of the armature that contacts the brushes. They get dirty and worn down. The brushes sometimes wear out but not normally. Open circuits can occur in the armature or in stator windings. You could fix these problems but the normal procedure is to replace the starter with a rebuilt. If the starter motor armature just happens to stop on a "bad spot" the circuit is open and the starter won't turn. Sometimes you can "rock" the engine by hand (be careful - make sure the ignition switch is off) or in a standard transmission car you can put it in gear and "rock" the car by pushing it forward or backward a few inches - this can move the starter motor off the "bad spot" and get you on your way, but it's a crap shoot as to when it will happen again. Sometimes rapping the starter with a hammer can make temporary contact where the contact was flaky, but you can do more harm to the starter than good if ya hit it too hard!!
Why wont my f150 turn over?
starter is out, motor is locked up or your starter solenoid is out.
Why won't my car turn over but just clicks?
It will probably be your starter motor Starter is out!
How do you know if an engine has seized?
It will not turn over on the starter motor.
What is a rocker arm in a DC motor and what will happen if the rocker arm connections are changed?
A rocker arm holds a carbon brush. In other words it is a carbon brush holder. Changing over the rocker arm connections is the same as changing over the armature connections and will make a DC motor turn in the reverse direction assuming that the magnetic orientation of the motor's field stays the same.More detailDC motor having a field windingIf the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are changed over at the same time as the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.If the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are not changed over at the same time as the the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.DC Motor having a field created by a permanent magnetIf the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is reversed at the same time that the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.If the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is not reversed at the same time as the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.
How can the direction of rotation of a DC shunt motor be reversed?
DC shunt motor can be reversed by changing the polarity of either the armature coil or the field coil.
What could cause your motor not to turn over if you have a new battery and new starter?
Could be the starter relay
Why is the starter just making a whining noise and not engaging the flywheel to turn over motor?
the starter is bad.
What makes a car turn on?
A starter motor turns the engine initially whilst fuel is vapourised in the rotating cylinders and ignited, taking over from the starter motor.
How do you know if the starter needs to be replaced?
When the starter motor refuses to turn over or grinds and clicks when turning then you need a new motor or recondition the old one.
