Design Features & Performance Advantages
- Airport GSE‑Rated Design: Utilizes robust direct‑drive architecture with 4.5KW output and a 10T drive gear, engineered to deliver strong cranking power for TUG aircraft tow tractors, cabin heaters, and ground power units. The 10‑tooth drive gear with precision‑cut teeth ensures optimal engagement and minimizes wear under frequent airport GSE operating cycles.
- 24V Electrical System Compatibility: This is a 24‑volt starter — designed for heavy‑duty airport ground support equipment that uses a 24V electrical system. It provides a straightforward, bolt‑on replacement matching the original DENSO / Cum mounting and electrical specifications.
- Premium Materials for GSE Duty: The motor incorporates high‑purity copper windings and Class F insulation, offering excellent heat resistance and preventing failure under the frequent start‑stop cycles typical of airport ground support equipment operation. Durable graphite brushes and a reinforced housing ensure long service life in demanding airport ramp environments.
- Broad DENSO / Cum Reference Coverage: This Starter covers 4 DENSO OEM numbers (228000-7900, 228000-7901, 228000-7902, 228000-9500), 2 Cum OEM numbers (3934119, 3957593), and 1 CASE OEM number (370226A1), reducing inventory complexity for airport GSE parts distributors.
