Aircraft ground support equipment
Brushed starter generators
Air-cooled brushed starter generators for aircraft and helicopter engines, 150 A to 550 A at 28 V DC.
Overview
What it does
Brushed starter generators that work as a motor to start the engine and then as a generator supplying 28 V DC once the engine reaches self-sustaining speed.
The range covers current outputs from 150 A to 550 A, with air-cooled designs offering flexible air inlet and outlet duct options.
Over 330 brushed starter generator models have been engineered using common components.
Applications
- Engine starting for aircraft and helicopters
- 28 V DC on-board power after engine start
- Small gas turbine engines
Features
Why engineers choose it
- Single machine for engine starting and 28 V DC power generation
- Switches to generator mode once the engine reaches self-sustaining speed
- Air-cooled with flexible inlet and outlet duct options
- Designs built on common components and accumulated development experience
