150BM, 3BM and 5BM Series Vane Air Starters (8–32 L Engines)
Ingersoll Rand 150BM, 3BM and 5BM Series Vane Air Starters (16–32 hp)
The 150BM is an in-line vane-motor air starter with a standard caged nose. A vane starter is a simple, rugged and reliable solution for mid-size diesel and gas engines (diesel approx. 8–70 litres) in marine, oil & gas, off-highway and power generation. 3BM and 5BM are smaller and larger vane starters from the same family.
- Pre-engaged and inertia versions (P = pre-engaged, G = inertia).
- Clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation and a choice of pinions.
- Durable and reliable in harsh conditions, OEM and type approved.
- For a turbine starter with the same mounting, the 150T “F” Series is a direct replacement.
Orientation – same starter, different position
The orientation code at the end of the model number (e.g. -02FJ, -2N or -POS) only defines the inlet, exhaust, drive housing and flange positions on the engine. The starter itself is the same. Each product page lists the same starter in other orientations – choose the one that fits your engine installation, or ask us.
