56 Series Turbine Air Starters
Highly reliable TDI TurboStart 56 series air starters provide air starting functionality to gas turbine engines, drives, and marine applications. Additionally, the Model 56A starter includes a specially designed TDI low mass turbine rotor that can fracture in a highly controlled and low-risk manner in the event of a starter over-speeding. Air starters within the TDI 56 series are notably less expensive than less than most competitive products, due in part to simple and efficient designs. More reliable than three-point clutch alternatives, specialized air starters feature an innovative 22-point sprag clutch design.
Torque range: 55 to 520 lb-ft (74 to 705 Nm)
Typical applications: Gas turbine engines for electrical power generation, industrial drives, and marine propulsion applications
