The Bosch Group has introduced a new long-haul commercial starter with a lighter weight and twice the life of older starters
, according to Fred Padgett, group product manager for starters and alternators for Bosch.

"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."

The SR5065LH Long Haul Commercial Starter features a six-pole field windings for more power and less sensitivity to low battery charge. Other features include a planetary gear reduction system, a two-stage solenoid that prevents damage to the engine ring gear and extends the life of the starter pinion gear, and o-rings to increase resistance to dust, dirt and moisture. The unit's weight of 21 pounds is 38 percent lighter than comparable units, according to the company.

In addition, the starter has conical solenoid contacts, dual-composite "long-life" brushes, and an integral magnetic switch that provide quicker starts and increased durability. Its Bosch armature winding technology provides more copper and increased thermal conductivity.
