The original spring starter has an unrivalled track record of over 50 years reliable service. Exclusively produced by Kineteco, it has a well-earned reputation for quality and durability, selling tens of thousands worldwide.
Kineteco SS/SR spring starters are specified for mining, oil rig and merchant marine use and for ships’ black start generators, demonstrating their unique reliability. Kineteco can supply spring starters for a huge range of engines from 700cc single cylinders to 6L inline sixes, for all types of conditions, for a wide range of applications.
The spring starter uses a set of 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 high torque and long life.
Flame-proof and E-pack dual start options are available ensuring Kineteco SS/SR spring starters can be configured to meet customers’ exact requirements.
New engine applications are constantly being developed. For engines not listed, please contact us.
