Why Pay Thousands More for a Less Reliable Starting System?
- Costs Thousands Less
- Simpler, More Reliable Mechanics
- The Sprag Clutch Advantage
- No Lubrication of Supply Air Required
- No Wear Surfaces
- No Limit on Run Time, No Cool Down Required
- Superior Turbine-Powered Design
- Fewer Moving Parts
- Less Maintenance
- Longer MTBF
155 hp at Just 60 psig
The 56K-LP delivers TDI’s signature high torque and horsepower on just 50 max psig meaning retrofitting to TDI won’t require changing out regulators, valves or flow control devices.
Stronger, More Reliable Clutch
Assures Less Downtime
Clutch failure due to control malfunctions and long term wear are one of the most common sources for starter/engine failure. 56K-LP’s sprag clutch virtually eliminates these problems by evenly dispersing torque to 22 separate points (see visual above).
Simple Singular Planetary Gear Design
Reduces Maintenance
Fewer moving parts means less maintenance. The simplicity of the 56K-LP design reduces maintenance, part cost, repair costs, and most of all downtime.
Turbine Air Starters
Are More Reliable
In marine, oil and gas, and even power generation, engineers and maintenance people agree that turbine designs are more reliable than positive displacement for engine starting.
