A starter motor is an essential component in an automotive engine's starting system, responsible for initiating the engine's operation. It typically consists of a small electric motor, a solenoid, and a drive mechanism. When the ignition key is turned, the starter motor engages and turns the engine's flywheel, allowing the engine to start running. Starter motors are usually made from materials such as steel and aluminum, ensuring durability and efficiency under high-stress conditions.
| Voltage | 12V or 24V |
| Power rating | 1 kW to 3 kW |
