“Rated for over 50,000 starts, the new Bosch SR5065LH Long Haul Commercial Starter offers twice the life of older starters, along with lighter weight for ease of installation,” said Fred Padgett, Group Product Manager for Starters and Alternators for Bosch.
The new Bosch commercial starter features:
- Six-pole field windings for increased power with less sensitivity to low battery charge for more reliable starts
- A planetary gear reduction system to increase torque and provide faster starts
- O-rings to increase resistance to dust, dirt, and moisture, thereby increasing life
- A weight of only 21 lbs. -- 38 percent lighter than comparable units for easier installation in tight engine compartments
- A two-stage solenoid that prevents damage to the engine ring gear and extends the life of the starter pinion gear
- Conical solenoid contacts, dual-composite “long-life” brushes, and an integral magnetic switch that provide quicker starts and increased durability
- Exclusive Bosch armature winding technology that provides more copper and increases thermal conductivity, as well as increased resistance to heat for extended life
“Bosch Long Haul Commercial Starters are built to stringent precision and performance standards, and are 100 percent factory tested for superior reliability and performance,” said Padgett. “Our new commercial starter shows how Bosch continuously works to advance its standards of excellence.”
