Abstract

See full text

A starter arrangement for an engine includes a fluid actuated rotary vane motor which is adapted to engage an associated engine. The rotary motor has a plurality of blades or vanes with each of the blades being made from a fiber reinforced plastic material to reduce friction. A sleeve, in which the rotary motor is positioned, has on its inner surface a hard metallic coating to reduce friction. A relay valve member selectively provides a pressurized operating fluid to the rotary motor. The blade material and the sleeve inner surface coating cooperate to enable the vane motor, when it is actuated by the relay valve member, to rotate in the sleeve with a minimum of friction thereby obviating the need for a lubricating agent.
