Pengetesan Motor Starter

1. Pengetesan Pull In Coil

• Hubungkan terminal (+) baterai ke terminal 50 motor starter
• Hubungkan terminal (-) baterai ke terminal C saklar starter dan bodi atau masa dari motor starter
• Pull In Coil baik jika pada pengetesan ini plunyer tertarik kebelakang dan tuas mendorong over raning clutch ke depan

Penting !! Pada Pengetesan ini lepaskan hubungan terminal C ke field Coil

2. Pengetesan Hold In Coil

Seperti pada pengetesan pull in coil lepaskan kabel yang menghubungkan negatif baterai dengan terminal C.

Pada pengetesan ini hold in coil baik jika posisi plunyer tetap tertahan

3. Pengetesan Kumparan Medan

1. Pengetesan Kontinuitas.

Dengan menggunakan Ohm meter hubungkan kedua jarum ohm meter ke masing- masing ujung kumparan. Harus ada kontinuitas diantara kedua ujung kumparan.

2. Pengetesan Hubungan dengan masa.

Hubungkan satu jarum ohm meter ke ujung kumparan dan jarum yang lain ke massa / bodi. Antara bodi dan kumparan harus tidak ada kontinuitas.

4. Pengetesan Kumparan Jangkar dan Armatur

1. Pengetesan Hubungan Singkat.

Hubungkan jarum ohm meter ke armatur dan ke bodi masa. Antara armatur dan bodi harus tidak ada hubungan.

2. Pengetesan Kontinuitas.

Hubungkan kedua jarum ohm meter ke armatur. Ubahlah posisi salah satu jarum melingkari permukaan komutator. Pada pengetesan ini harus menunjukkan kontinuitas.

5. Pengetesan Sikat dan Pemegang Sikat

1. Pengetesan Hubungan Singkat .

Hubungkan jarum ohm meter ke sikat negatif dan pemegang sikat positif dan pada pengetesan ini harus tidak ada kontinuitas.

2. Ukur sikat dengan vernier kaliper.

Ganti sikat jika melebihi batas minimal dari buku pedoman.

3. Ukur Ketegangan Pegas sikat.

Ganti jika ketegangan dibawah buku pedoman, ganti dengan yang baru.

6. Pengetesan Over Runing Clutch.

Tahan roda gigi pinion dan putarlah kopling, kopling harus jalan bebas pada arah jarum jam dan terkunci pada putaran berlawanan arah jarum jam.

Cara Kerja Motor Starter

1. Posisi Kunci Kontak ST

Arus dari baterai ke pull in coil (PIC) dan hold in coil (HIC) dan kedua kumparan ini menghasilkan medan magnet searah dan akhirnya menarik plat kontak yang menghubungkan terminal B dengan terminal C serta tuas menggeser over runing clutch dan roda gigi pinion berhubungan dengan fly wheel. Arus yang ke C relatif kecil dan armatur berputar lambat.

Bagan Aliran arus:

2. Pada Saat Pinion Berkaitan Penuh

Plat kontak sudah menghubungkan terminal B dan C, sehingga PIC tidak dialiri arus dan plat kontak hanya ditahan oleh HIC. Oleh karena itu arus yang besar dari terminal B akan langsung mengalir ke terminal C > kumparan medan > armatur > Kumparan jangkar > masa. Motor starter berputar cepat untuk menggerakkan fly wheel. Over runing clutch mencegah melindungi pinion gear jika putaranya lebih kecil dari putaran fly wheel.

Bagan Aliran arus:

3. Saat Kunci Kontak Posisi On

Karena saklar starter diputar ke posisi Off PIC dan HIC tidak mendapat arus dari terminal 50 melainkan dari terminal C sehingga aliran arusnya akan menjadi:

Karena arus PIC dan HIC berlawanan arah, gaya magnet yang dihasilkan juga berlawanan sehingga kedua-duanya saling menghapuskan, ini mengakibatkan kekuatan pegas pengembali dapat mnegembalikan plat kontak ke posisi semula, dengan demikian lengan penggerak menarik kopling jalan bebas dan gigi pinion terlepas dari perkaitannya dengan fly wheel.

Bagan Aliran arus:

Rangkaian Sistem Starter

Cara Menghidupkan Motor Starter

Putar Kunci kontak ke posisi ST sampai motor starter berputar menggerakkan roda gigi fly wheel dan hasilnya Engine akan Running.

Prinsip Kerja Motor Starter

1. Medan Elektromagnetik

Dalam ilmu Fisika, medan elektromagnetik adalah suatu medan yang dibentuk dengan menggerakkan muatan listrik (arus listrik) yang menyebabkan munculnya gaya di muatan listrik yang bergerak lainnya.Arus mengalir melalui lilitan kawat membentuk suatu medan magnet (M) di sekeliling kawat.

2. Kaidah Tangan Kiri Fleming

Fleming Left Hand Rule

• Ibu jari menunjukkan arah gaya elektromagnetik
• Jari telunjuk menunjukkan arah medan magnet
• Jari tengah menunjukkan arah aliran arus listrik

2. Prinsip Kerja Motor Stater.

Sesuai dengan kaidah tangan kiri fleming. Jika di tengah tengah medan magnet dialirkan arus listrik maka akan timbul gaya elektromagnet. Pada gambar disamping , medan magnet dari kutup utara (N) menuju kutup selatan (S). Di tengah tengah medan magnet diletakkan konduktor yang dialiri arus, sehingga akan timbul gaya elektromagnetik yang menyebabkan konduktor bisa berputar.

Definisi Motor Starter

Motor starter berfungsi untuk memutarkan fly wheel (Roda Gila) pada saat pertama kali melakukan start sehingga mesin dapat hidup setelah itu terjadi siklus yang akan menghasilkan tenaga.

 Gambar Motor Starter

Bagian-Bagian Motor Starter

Motor Starter terdiri atas beberapa bagian yang memungkinkan bekerja untuk mengubah energi listrik DC dari baterai menjadi tenaga gerak/putaran untuk memutarkan fly wheel. Sehingga mesin hidup.

Bagian-bagian Motor Starter:

• Saklar Starter (Selenoid )
• Kumparan Medan (Field Coil )
• Kumparan Jangkar
• Sikat Arang ( Brush )
• Armatur dan komutator
• Over running clutch dan roda gigi pinion

1. Saklar magnet ( Magnetic Switch )

Saklar Magnet bekerja sebagai saklar utama untuk mengatur arus masuk ke kumparan medan (Field Coil) dan mengontrol gigi pinion dengan mendorong dan menariknya.

Terminal – terminal yang ada pada saklar starter :

• Terminal B : Mendapatkan arus langsung dari positif baterai (30)
• Terminal C : Menghubungkan/mengalirkan arus dari terminal B ke kumparan medan (field coil)
• Terminal ST (50) : Mendapatkan arus dari terminal ST (50) kunci kontak dan meneruskanya ke pull in coil  dan hold in coil  melalui plat kontak

2. Kumparan Medan ( Field Coil ) & Yoke

Arus dari baterai dialirkan ke kumparan medan yang terbungkus oleh pole core sehingga  menghasilkan medan magnet. Yang dibutuhkan motor untuk beroperasi. Field coil dihubungkan dengan Armature coil secara seri melewati sikat arang (brush).

3. Kumparan Jangkar (Armature).

Armature (kumparan jangkar) membangkitkan gerak daya putar akibat dari perbedaan arah gaya gerak listrik yang ditimbulkan oleh kumparan medan. Ball bearing menopang putaran kecepatan tinggi dari angkur. Armatur meneruskan arus listrik dari kumparan medan ke angkur melalui sikat arang (brush).

4. Sikat dan Pemegang Sikat .

Empat sikat (brush) menyalurkan arus ke armature coil melalui commutator. Dua diantaranya ditopang oleh insulated holder dan dihubungkan ke commutator (disebut dengan brush positif (+)) , dan kedua brush lainnya ditopang oleh grounded holder dan dihubungkan ke commutator (disebut dengan brush negatif (-)) Sikat itu dibuat dari karbon tembaga, yang mempunyai daya konduksi tinggi dan tidak gampang aus. Pegas sikat menekan pada permukaan putaran armature dan menghentikan putaran armature tepat saat starter berhenti dengan menekan sikat.

5. Over Running Clutch dan Roda Gigi Pinion.

Over Runing Clutch berfungsi untuk : Meneruskan putaran yang dihasilkan motor untuk menggerakkan fly wheel melalui roda gigi pinion.dan Menarik gigi pinion jika putaran gigi pinion lebih rendah daripada putaranfly wheel.

Roda Gigi pinion berfungsi meneruskan daya putar starter ke mesin dengan memutarkan ring gear. Helical spline mengubah daya berputar dari motor ke tuas pinion dan mendukung pertautan/pelepasan gigi pinion dari ring gear.

New Unimog Truck From Mercedes-Benz

The official pictures and reviews below tell the amazing performance and design of the Mercedes-Benz called Unimog. This special truck design is presented in futuristic design and aimed to welcome the 60^thanniversary for Unimog truck variant. This futuristic Unimog truck concept is developed by Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks (MBS). The design of this new truck variant follows the concept of U 5000 version which was produced by the MBS development team collaborates with the commercial vehicle designers namely Daimler in Sindelfingen.

Press Release:

Mercedes-Benz Unimog Concept – The Design

As an analogy to the very first Mercedes-Benz Unimog of the product range 2010 which was built in 1951, the Unimog concept has an open cab.

The distinctive, dynamic and extremely expressive “face” previews the future form language of Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle design.

The Unimog design concept is based on the Unimog U 5000 chassis with its trademark coil springs, which are painted red in the concept vehicle, whereas Bertrand Janssen and his team have let the hood with its typical Mercedes-Benz line and the mudguards in a fresh green.

This unusual color scheme was inspired by an unusual amphibian, the poison dart frog: “Just like the Unimog it is also extremely mobile both in water and on land. And furthermore in this point it is once more the link between past and future as green was the color of the very first Unimog and numerous follow-up generations of the vehicle.”

The headlights are like stage lights, which focus the beam of light. The clearly visible, sweeping lines of the frame have been finished with high-grade trims cut from aluminum blocks.

The four same-size wheels make a strong optical impression with their five star alu-rim design.

“We have taken the Unimog-DNA with its unique concept features to 100 percent into consideration when creating this design concept,” says Bertrand Janssen from the Daimler department for commercial vehicle design.

Yaris Pürsün, Director of the Mercedes-Benz Plant at Wörth and Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks, has commented: “At Mercedes Benz Special Trucks we decided to construct a design concept because we are of the opinion that such a vehicle will act as a bridge between the progressive strength of self-renewal that has distinguished the Unimog program for 60 years and the future design of the coming generations of products.”

Bertrand Janssen emphasizes, “On no account did we work in an atmosphere where our ideas were divorced from reality.

“Here we have a vehicle which is puristic, but still clearly true to concept – with the claim, that some of its details will turn up in coming product ranges in future.

“We continued to take up the most important Unimog features which have characterized the vehicle for the last 60 years and which will also characterize it in future – features such as portal axles, coil springs or the frame concept.”

New Kia KV7 Concept

Here is  new Kia KV7 car concept. This KIA KV7 is a result of design research which is developed to create modern fan which is presented in boxy design and features an interior design inspired by lounge. The car is also presented with spacious rear gull wing. This KIA KV7 is very suitable for accommodating large number of passenger or for going to vacation. The design language of this stylish van is adjusted with the “sporty and dynamic” design character. Below are several images preview of this KIA KV7 and complete description from the manufacturer.

Exterior Design

The exterior of the KV7 was inspired by modern smart phones and classic pieces of luggage. The KV7?s wide stance is paired with an A-pillar and windshield design that is more vertical than traditional minivans and its smooth exterior skin and 20-inch wheels exude a modern appearance while projecting the confidence and strength of an SUV.

The KV7 concept’s most striking feature is its passenger-side gullwing door, which creates a massive point-of-entry to the lounge-like interior when opened in conjunction with the pillar-less front passenger door.

The front end is characterized by an interpretation of Kia’s signature bold tabbed grille with vertical LED headlamps integrated within the design.

The KV7 features several LED lighting elements that Kia’s design team is evaluating for future production vehicles, including a continuous line of LED fog lights that span the entire front end of the vehicle and directional turn indicators on the outside mirrors and the rear of the vehicle that pulse in the direction being signaled.

The KV7 concept’s distinctive windshield follows the designs found on the new Sportage CUV and Optima midsize sedan, and a series of near-continuous windows starting at the A-pillar provide uninterrupted views of a day at the beach or a night out on the town.

Despite its non-traditional look, the KV7?s length (191.85 in.), width (80.0 in.) and wheelbase (122.0 in.) are consistent with the van segment and allow flexible seating configurations and a multitude of storage options.

Interior Design

In the process of rethinking what a van’s exterior appearance and image could be, Kia’s Southern California design team also envisioned an interior to meet the needs of an entirely new group of consumers – a group of people referred to as “Ringleaders.”

Rather than using a van to transport children and their accompaniments, Ringleaders are busy organizing road trips, social outings and new adventures for themselves and their friends to experience together. As such, the KV7 concept’s interior employs four custom-built swiveling seats, including the driver’s seat, and a rear-corner mini-lounge with seating for three and integrated storage compartments to promote interaction in an open social environment.

The simple yet sophisticated theme is brought to life inside the KV7 concept through its modern color palette featuring soft beige and green tones and the use of unique seat and surface materials. The KV7 utilizes a variety of unconventional textures, including reclaimed teak wood flooring and sustainable wool and felt materials help to foster a warm and inviting atmosphere.

When the KV7 concept’s push button start is engaged, the entire front dash moves more than six inches toward the driver, bringing all controls within easy reach, including the large multi-use display which integrates infotainment, climate and navigation systems in one simple-to-use interface controlled by a trackball mouse mounted in the dash.

Rear passengers have their own, separate interface in the form of a floating tabletop touch-screen computer display. The KV7 is Wi-Fi enabled, providing both the front and rear displays with Internet capabilities and the ability for multiple passengers to connect their smart phones to the vehicle at one time and sign on to social networking sites.

Building on the experimental use of LED lighting elements found on the exterior, the KV7?s concept’s interior also features multiple flush-to-the-floor accent illumination points and standout green LED lighting throughout the front dash, instrument panel and rear display area to compliment the vehicle’s color palette.

New Abarth Scorp-Ion

The official images below show the sporty appearance of this Scorp – Ion. This concept car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2011. The exterior of this IED Abarth Scorp – Ion is characterized by flowing lines on its body with the distinctive rear end defined by the straight cut. The extreme sporty look is also implemented on the virtual interior design of this car which is also completed by carbon fiber trims. Beneath the center tunnel there are 4-poinnts seats belts and also fire extinguisher.

The interior of this car is designed contrary with the exterior surfaces; the interior is designed by using hexagonal and triangular shape which give futuristic accent and hi-tech touch to the car. The 2 bucket seats which is produced from single material is connected to the roof, for adding structural function. The panel instruments of this Scorp – Ion features futuristic user interface. The flat bottomed steering wheel features 3D display attached on it.
