Starter motor
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005621
An electric motor, typically powered by a vehicle's battery, designed to crank an internal combustion engine to initiate its operation. It engages with the engine's flywheel, providing the initial rotational force needed to start the combustion cycle. Once the engine starts, a one-way clutch disengages the starter motor to prevent over-speeding.
