Design Features & Performance Advantages
- OSGR-74 Planetary Gear Reduction Structure: Utilizes OSGR-74 series planetary reduction architecture with 1.4KW power output, specifically optimized for marine diesel engines (YANMAR 3-cylinder Diesel). Compact design with efficient torque output, perfectly matching installation space in marine and industrial applications. 9-tooth drive gear with precise modulus ensures smooth engagement with flywheel ring gear, reducing gear wear and noise. CCW rotation direction meets specific marine engine requirements.
- HITACHI Original Mold Design, Direct Replacement: Developed and manufactured based on HITACHI original structure. Mounting holes, wiring terminals, and fixing dimensions are 1:1 matched with original parts. No modifications required --- direct installation for maintenance replacement. Compatible with YANMAR D27, KL series and other marine engine models.
- Premium Materials, Durable & Reliable: Stator and rotor use high-purity enameled windings with Class F insulation resistant to high temperatures, preventing overheating damage during frequent start-stop cycles in marine environments. High-wear-resistant graphite brushes ensure stable conductivity and extend service life. Aluminum alloy die-cast housing with enhanced corrosion resistance provides vibration resistance, impact protection, and moisture/splash resistance, suitable for harsh marine conditions. Built-in high-quality one-way clutch automatically disengages after engine start, preventing flywheel back-drive damage to starter.
- Export Market Customization: Specifically developed for marine and industrial equipment markets with parameters adapted to mainstream diesel engine platforms. Meets requirements for overseas marine parts wholesale and repair shop maintenance replacements.
