This week we want to present another of the projects carried out in our cogeneration, gas, diesel, and marine engines repair workshop. In this case, it concerns Bosch starters belonging to a Jenbacher Series 6 engine.
RS Motor’s specialised electrical and electronic technicians carry out these types of repairs, always using genuine spare parts for Jenbacher engines.
COST SAVINGS USING SPARE PARTS FOR JENBACHER ENGINES
Since this is a high-cost component, whenever possible, we offer reconditioning and exchange solutions to our customers. These options can result in cost savings without compromising the reliability of these components.
RECONDITIONING PROCESS OF STARTER MOTORS WITH SPARE PARTS FOR JENBACHER ENGINES
Starter motors are subjected to significant stresses as they are responsible for providing the necessary movement to initiate the engine’s operation. Consequently, they often experience wear on some of their internal components or even failures due to poor maintenance or unfavourable working environments.
To recondition a starter motor, an inspection and analysis of the damaged or susceptible elements are initially necessary to determine if these repairs are economically viable.
ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN TO RECONDITION STARTER MOTORS WITH SPARE PARTS FOR JENBACHER ENGINES
The following are the main components and actions taken during these overhaul of Jenbacher engines and reconditioning process of an electric starter motor with spare parts for Jenbacher engines:
– Brushes: These parts are responsible for transmitting the electrical current to the rotor winding through the commutator. Due to the friction they undergo, brushes are the main wearing component. In the refurbishment of a starter motor, the brushes must be replaced to ensure proper electrical contact and the correct transmission of energy within the starter motor.
– Bearings and bushings: These are essential components that allow the relative rotation of the internal motor parts. They are replaced as they are another primary wearing component. Having new bearings ensures better performance and a longer lifespan for the starter motor.
– Solenoid contacts: These are contact plates, also known as relays, which are actuated by the solenoid coil. They often experience wear due to the electric arc generated during their operation. During the inspection and refurbishment of the starter motor, it is important to inspect the contacts and replace them if they show signs of excessive wear or damage
– The starter motor’s rotor undergoes an inspection that primarily analyzes the condition of the commutator and performs a winding insulation test always known as megger test, to assess the state of the armature winding. If any of these elements are found to be in poor condition, rotor replacement should be considered.
– The stator, which includes the field coil, is inspected and tested for insulation faults. Additionally, the starter motor housing is visually inspected to ensure there are no defects or breakages, and the pole shoes are checked to be in good condition. These actions guarantee the integrity of the stator and its proper functioning.
– The starter motor drive pinion is responsible for transmitting the motion from the starter motor to the flywheel gear ring. During the refurbishment process, the pinion is examined for wear or breakage. If any issues are detected, replacement is recommended to ensure proper engagement and efficient energy transfer.
– The bendix assembly, which includes the shift lever or pusher shaft, clutch and springs, is responsible for the engagement between the pinion and the gear ring of the flywheel. During the inspection process, this assembly is thoroughly examined, and its operation is verified for possible faults or wear. It is important to ensure that the bendix assembly is in optimal condition for reliable starting.
– The solenoid coil is responsible for the activation of the bendix and plunger contact in the starter motor. During refurbishment, a comprehensive inspection of the coil is carried out to detect any possible defects in its operation.
