Full Replacement Offered If Starter Does Not Make 5 Year
TBO
The PowerFlite line of heavy duty starter motors from Tempest is
now covered by a 5 year TBO warranty, the company announced
Wednesday.
The Tempest PowerFlite series of
aviation engine starters represents a new state-of-the-art energy
efficient design providing reduced current draw and long
life. The PowerFlite starter mounts directly to existing TCM
engines and is available in both 12 and 24 volt configurations.
"After many hours and cycles of actual field service, in one of
the most challenging environments, we experienced no failures of
our starter motor," said John Herman, Tempest Vice President of
Sales and Marketing. "The quality of this product allows us
to give our customers what they have been asking for in a starter
motor - confidence."
Tempest says it has always backed its products with the best
warranty in the industry and now the starter is no exception. "We
are proud to announce our new 5 year TBO warranty for the
PowerFlite product line. If a customer experiences a defect
in material or workmanship within this period, we will replace the
starter," Herman said.
The Tempest PowerFlite design features include:
- 20% less current draw than competitive starters.
- Aerospace quality brushes for longer life.
- New field wound electric motor design with optimized
magnetics.
- Ball bearing design resulting in low internal friction and
heat.
- No internal clutches or planetary gears.
Tempest starter part numbers PL13459 (12v) and PL13484 (24v) are
eligible on TCM engine models O-300-D, GO-300-D, IO-346, IO-360,
L/TSIO-360, O-470, IO-470, TSIO-470, IO-520, TSIO-520, GTSIO-520,
