TurboTwin™ T30 Air Starters

Fast, Compact Starting for Engines up to 20 Liters

Lots of Power in Lots of Industries
The T30 generates up to 25% more stall torque than other starters in its class. Its highly efficient twin-turbine motor design gives you more cranking power with less air for faster starts. Unlike starters that require a mechanical automatic trip valve (ATV), the T30 uses aerodynamics to control motor speed, giving you total control over the start cycle.

Lightweight
At 29 lbs. (13.2 kg) the T30 is lighter and more compact than other starters in its class.

The Longest Lasting, Most Reliable Engine Starter - Here's Why:
The T30 Turbine is designed to thrive in the world's dirtiest, messiest environments. Wet or contaminated air have no effect on the T30. There are no rubbing vanes to stick, swell or wear out - which translates into longer lasting, more reliable starting, regardless of conditions.

No Mess, No Fugitive Emissions
The vaneless design of the T30 is grease-packed for life, thereby eliminating fugitive start exhaust emissions caused by messy, oily exhaust residues. Less mess, less maintenance, and a clean environment for your engine makes sense, doesn't it?

No Plastic Parts And Half The Moving Parts Yield Quality
Quality has been designed into the T30. We've minimized the moving parts (less than half the number on competitive models). We refused to compromise the design by cutting corners with "plastic parts." The result is a rugged starter made of high-strength steel and aluminum alloys that last longer and delivers significantly more starting cranks than other similar size systems.

T30-I: Inertia Engagement
The T30-I (shown above) is the inertia engaged version of the T30. It meets high torque, low air/gas consumption requirements and, like the whole line of T30's, is natural gas ready. Take a look at several variations of the T30, explained below :

T30-P: Pre-Engaged
The T30-P is the pre-engaged version of the T30. It features a posi-tork drive with over-running clutch, and requires the pilot-controlled TDI TurboValve relay valve.

T30-Y: Pre-Engaged Overhung Pinion
The versatile, pre-engaged overhung drive design was designed for European engines and features metric pinions and a wide variety of mounting options.

T30-M: Industrial Air/Gas Drive Motor
The T30-M is designed for pre-and-post-lube seal oil pump operation. It uses significantly less air and delivers the industry's highest torque in its class.
