Design Features & Performance Advantages
PMGR-686-NEW Permanent Magnet Gear Reduction Structure: Utilizes PMGR-686-NEW series advanced permanent magnet gear reduction architecture with 1.2KW power output, specifically optimized for 2.3L-2.5L inline-4 mid-size sedan engines. Permanent magnet design delivers superior efficiency, lighter weight, and reliable torque output compared to conventional field-wound starters. 11-tooth drive gear with precise modulus ensures smooth engagement with flywheel ring gear, reducing gear wear and noise.
MITSUBISHI Original Mold Design, Direct Replacement: Developed and manufactured based on MITSUBISHI original structure. Mounting holes, wiring terminals, and fixing dimensions are 1:1 matched with original parts. No modifications required --- direct installation for maintenance replacement. Compatible with FORD FUSION 2.3L (2006-09) / 2.5L (2010), MERCURY MILAN 2.3L (2006-09) / 2.5L (2010), and other same-platform Ford/Mercury models.
Premium Materials, Durable & Reliable: Stator and rotor use high-purity enameled windings with Class F insulation resistant to high temperatures, preventing overheating damage during frequent start-stop cycles in urban driving. High-wear-resistant graphite brushes ensure stable conductivity and extend service life. Aluminum alloy die-cast housing provides vibration resistance, impact protection, and dust/splash resistance, suitable for various road conditions. Built-in high-quality one-way clutch automatically disengages after engine start, preventing flywheel back-drive damage to starter.
Export Market Customization: Specifically developed for global markets with parameters adapted to mainstream American mid-size passenger vehicle platforms. Meets requirements for overseas auto parts wholesale and repair shop maintenance replacements.
Quality & Application Information
Factory-controlled full-process production with comprehensive outgoing inspections including no-load performance, load torque, lock parameters, and insulation withstand voltage testing. Complies with international automotive starter manufacturing standards.
Application Scenarios: Vehicle assembly, domestic and international auto parts retail, repair shop faulty part replacement. Optimal replacement starter for FORD FUSION 2.3L (2006-09) / 2.5L (2010), MERCURY MILAN 2.3L (2006-09) / 2.5L (2010), and same-platform Ford/Mercury models.
