Long Haul 12V Series Starters

Bosch has announced the availability of its Long Haul 12V Series of starters that are specially designed to provide long-lasting performance and lifespan on most heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

• Includes all the features necessary for the widest range of large displacement commercial diesel engine applications
• Utilizes fewest number of SKUs – three Bosch Long Haul Starters replace more than 186 competitive part numbers
• Features shock absorbing planetary gear system
• Mounted on rubber shock absorbers and located in a steel drive-end housing, the planetary gear carrier resists ‘kick back’ and eliminates drive-end breakage
• Easy-to-use Universal Mounting Flange reduces SKU count which, in turn, simplifies inventory
• Over-crank protection prevents damage and ensures a longer life
• Internal magnetic switch (IMS) ensures optimal voltage for starting in all weather conditions
• Fixed-over running clutch with 50% less moving mass protects internal components in case of ‘blind start’ or ‘click no crank’
• Meshing spring for positive gear engagement during cranking eliminates ‘click no crank’ and prevents costly damage to the engine ring gear.
• Isolated external ground circuit promotes optimal grounding and maximum starting power
• Open nose design resists moisture, dust and dirt, preventing damage to internal electrical and mechanical components
• Dual composite long life brushes create better surface contact, less heat and lower current draw resulting in longer life and quicker starts
• Double chamfered pinion gear increases first time engagement and positive starts
• Protective cover shields the solenoid and critical electrical connections, ensuring positive connections and maximum starting power
