Conventional Drive

In a Conventional Drive starter the pinion gear is located directly on the armature shaft.

The pinion and overrunning clutch form the driver assembly.

The driver assembly rides on a helical spline on the armature shaft so that when the driver is thrust by the solenoid, a combined axial and rotary motion occurs which greatly facilitates the meshing of the pinion.
