Starter 35.3708 – four-brush DC electric motor with mixed excitation and with electromagnetic two-winding traction relay

Four poles with excitation windings are fixed with screws in the starter housing: three series (sequential) and one shunt (parallel).

The housing together with the covers is tightened with two bolts.

Starter 35.3708, assembled: 1 - drive-side cover; 2 - retaining ring; 3 - limiting ring; 4 - drive gear; 5 - overrunning clutch; 6 - drive ring; 7 - rubber plug; 8 - drive lever; 9 - relay anchor; 10 - traction relay holding winding; 11 - traction relay pull-in winding; 12 - relay tie bolt; 13 - contact plate; 14 - relay cover; 15 - contact bolts; 16 - collector; 17 - brush; 18 - anchor shaft sleeve; 19 - collector-side cover; 20 - casing; 21 - stator winding shunt coil; 22 - housing; 23 - stator pole fastening screw; 24 - anchor; 25 - anchor winding; 26 - intermediate ring

Anchor – with end collector. The rear end of the armature shaft rotates in a metal-ceramic sleeve pressed into the cover from the collector side, and the front end rotates in a sleeve pressed into the cover from the drive side.

A freewheel clutch (overrunning clutch) with a drive gear is installed on the drive shaft.

It transmits torque in only one direction - from the starter to the engine, disconnecting them after the engine starts.

This is necessary to protect the starter armature from damage due to excessive rotation speed.

The traction relay is used to engage the drive gear with the flywheel ring gear of the engine crankshaft and turn on the power supply to the starter electric motor.

When the ignition key is turned to the "starter" position, voltage is supplied to both windings of the traction relay through an additional relay of type 113.3747- 10 (pulling and holding).

After the traction relay contacts close, the pull-in winding is disconnected.

The traction relay response voltage should be no more than 9 V at (20±5)°C. If this is not the case, there is a fault in the relay or drive.

The serviceability of the drive is determined by inspection after disassembling the starter. The faulty relay is replaced.

 For information on removing the starter, see the article - "Replacing the VAZ-21213 starter".

In this case, the anchor of a serviceable relay should extend the overrunning clutch into the front cover window, and the contact bolts should close.

Replace the faulty traction relay with a new one.

We separate the parts of the starter and take out the insulating tubes of the bolts

We check the condition of the collector and windings by visual inspection.

Charring of the windings is not allowed.

If the collector is slightly burned, we clean its plates with fine abrasive paper.

If the burns and wear are severe, it is better to replace the anchor.

Scuffs and metal galling from bearings on the anchor shaft journals are removed with the finest sandpaper and then polished.
