ST Series turbine air starter for industrial engine starting
ST Series turbine air starter for high-performance engine starting

ST Series turbine air starters are engineered for reliable, high-performance starting of diesel and gas engines operating in demanding environments.
Featuring advanced single- and dual-stage turbine motors, the ST Series delivers high torque output, smooth acceleration, and long service life with virtually maintenance-free operation.

Turbine technology utilizes compressed air efficiently without requiring air line lubrication, eliminating oil emissions and reducing environmental impact.
This makes the ST Series an ideal choice for clean applications, remote locations, and extreme temperature operations where electric starting systems or traditional vane starters are less suitable.

With a robust aluminum or ductile iron construction and an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, the ST Series is perfectly suited for
generators, marine propulsion, offshore rigs, mining equipment, gas compression, and heavy industrial engines.

Why Choose ST Series Turbine Air Starters?

  • Lube-Free Operation – zero oil emissions and cleaner workplace compliance
  • High Efficiency Turbine Technology – optimal power output with lower air consumption
  • Extreme Temperature Operation – dependable performance in arctic cold or tropical heat
  • Solid-State Durability – rugged design withstands harsh environments and dirty air supply
  • Low Cost of Ownership – long service intervals with minimal maintenance requirements
