How does a starter clutch work?

in this video, we will look at a starter clutch. The starter clutch or overrunning clutch is used to transmit power flow from the starter motor armature to the starter pinion and disconnect power flow once the engine is started to prevent the starter motor destruction.
In today's video we'll be looking at the internal construction of the starter clutch or sometimes known as the overrunning clutch

it is the best explanation i ever seen.

Nice demonstration of operation. But the entire clutch is sealed and no way for dirt to get in. What actually happens is that the grease around the rollers eventually dries out and prevents the rollers from engaging the shaft properly or the rollers eventually develop a flat spot ( especially if not properly lubricated ) and because the clearance between engaged and disengaged is extremely small the flat spot or spots ( 5 rollers ) will again prevent the clutch from transmitting power. So 2 reasons why they fail - lack of lubrication causing flat spotted rollers and broken springs - as he said he had removed 2 springs to replace springs that had broken in another clutch.

You are absolutely right! Well said! Thank you very much dear!

So my truck manual says never to immerse the clutch portion in any solvent. Why? Perhaps because the solvent is very viscus and can penetrate and strip any remaining lube from the rollers. In that case I guess it's better to just buy another new one as they are sealed and cannot be re-lubed per se. Probably not worth the effort of trying to open and then close up the clutch case. Good explanation video though.

How does the smooth pinion gear transmit force to the smooth rollers to make the clutch spin? I cant figure it out. I paused the video to see if there are any machined grooves in the pinion but it looks completely smooth

Thank you for the great detail. I will disassemble mine and look at the rollers.

@@TheAbJGarage you are awesome. I have been racking my brain due to the 'everything is engaging, but no power flow' (rollers not transmitting power). I tried the soaking and shaking and it worked.

Thank you. Very informative. I have a 2010 Nissan Versa that had a screeching sound when starting. Removed the starter and found a dry roller clutch which was hard to turn. Cleaned and re-lubed everything. Works like a champ now!

15:14 It will just convert the direction of torque when the driver is changed from inside armature shaft to outside flywheel!! absolutely brilliant explanation man. You just cleared my confusion for a long time. You are awesome. Please make more videos of automobile with your unbelievably detailed information. Love from Bangladesh. ❤❤❤

The pinion gear is smooth. The rollers are smooth. I can’t understand how force is transmitted from pinion gear to the rollers to make it spin

@TheAbJGarage 5 ай бұрын

No matter how a surface looks to the naked eye, there are always surface irregularities and hence we have friction even on the shiniest surfaces. And in addition, the springs are forcing the rollers to a narrow and tight space, holding them pressed. This increases the gripping of the rollers and hence power flows. One roller might not be enough, but when we have multiple of them, they assist one another!

@@TheAbJGarage i watched another video and understand it now. It spins because the rollers are jammed into a smaller space then its diameter which forces the shaft to spin.

Can that clutch be reversed? I have disel starter motor who I modified to turn ither direction but I come across problem the clutch does not spin in proper direction so is it posibel to disabel that clutch rotstion the pinion?

@TheAbJGarage Жыл бұрын

You would have to reverse and interchange the pinion gear and it's spline to try using it in reverse direction.
