Abstract
To fully secure the precision around an output shaft, an electromagnet is axially held in position between a center bracket and a front bracket which form an enclosing member for a starter.
Claims7
A starter having an output shaft driven by an electric motor, comprising:
- a plunger, an electromagnet provided with an exciting coil, and an overrunning clutch which are coaxially arranged on the output shaft, the exciting coil of the electromagnet being excited to attract the plunger for driving the motor, the overrunning clutch with a thrust spline which is spline-connected to the output shaft being moved toward a ring gear to cause a pinion provided on the overrunning clutch to engage with the ring gear for starting an engine;
- and
- wherein the electromagnet is axially held in position between a center bracket and a front bracket which form an enclosing member for the starter.
