History of School Bus Applications - Starter Motors
When Leece-Neville began manufacturing starter motors we knew we wanted to provide
the best possible product to our customers. Part of that commitment to quality is never
ending improvement.
Our MS2 Series direct drive starter motors are now better than ever! This new series
is high corrosive resistant, and with its robust, heavy duty design it provides higher
reliability and longer life for your medium and heavy duty diesel applications.
New design features include a sealed nose design that keeps lubrication in and
contamination out of the nose bushing, extending nose bush life. The armature shaft is
coated with a Tefl on©-moly coating, making it resistant to the adherence of corrosives,
and our drive assembly contains alloy bearing material with grease retention featues.
To prevent moisture penetration into the fi eld coil assemblies we employ a double
vacuum impregnating process. Even our water resistant solenoid is designed to prevent
moisture from corroding the solenoid contacts.
And that’s not all. We perform 100% torque checks on mechanical connections, and
incoming materials are subject to impact hardness testing.
We never stop striving for excellence, because the better we perform the better your
vehicles will perform. And that’s a win-win partnership for everyone to be proud of!
