The original heavy duty spring starter has an unrivalled track record of over 50 years reliable service. Produced by Kineteco, it has a well-earned reputation for quality and durability, selling tens of thousands worldwide.
Kineteco HSS/HSR spring starters are specified for mining, oil rig and merchant marine use and for ships’ black start generators, demonstrating their unique reliability. This heavy duty version takes the spring starting capacity of the SS/SR range up to 9L, for all types of conditions and for a wide range of applications.
The spring starter uses a set of powerful disc springs that are compressed as the winding handle is turned. The pinion is pre-engaged with the ring gear, and when the starter is tripped, the shaft is released to transmit the power of the spring into the engine. This spring starter delivers higher torque and long life.
Marine, flame-proof and E-pack dual start options are available ensuring Kineteco HSS/HSR spring starters can be configured to meet customers’ exact requirements.
New engine applications are constantly being developed. For engines not listed, please contact us.
