Description

Ingersoll Rand air starters for the Perkins 2006-12T. The Perkins 2006-12T is a 6-cylinder diesel engine of 12.2 liters (742.6 cu in). Our Model Finder does not list a single recommended starter for it, so we match one to your engine's flange, ring gear and air supply. The Ingersoll Rand starter series below are rated for engines of this size.

Perkins 2006-12T Air Starter FAQ

What air starter fits the Perkins 2006-12T?

It depends on the flange, ring gear and rotation of your installation. Send us the model number from your existing starter's nameplate, or the engine serial number, and we will confirm the right Ingersoll Rand starter. The series above are the ones rated for an engine of 12.2 L.

 

Can I replace an electric starter on the 2006-12T with an air starter?

Air starters mount on standard SAE flanges, so they are often used in place of electric starters where batteries, sparks or cold starts are a concern. See air vs. electric starters, and call us so we can confirm the flange, pinion and air supply.

Ingersoll Rand pneumatic air starters can replace any factory mounted starter engine and simultaneously offer a variety of helpful benefits. Compared to conventional electric starters, a pneumatic air starter occupies considerably less space as it is run by air. Pneumatic air starters are also considered safer in hazardous environments as they do not produce electrical sparks like electric starters sometimes do, thus eliminating the risk of igniting flammable materials that may be present.

Ingersoll Rand air starters have significantly more torque than electric starters of equivalent size, and that allows even a small air starter to start very large engines and turbines. In addition, electric starters as well as their wiring may become excessively hot in the event that it takes longer than expected to start the engine, while air-starters can be run for as long as their air supply lasts. Turbine starters provide even more torque and tend to be simpler, and therefore are a natural fit for turbine engines. Turbine air starters are utilized extensively on large turbofan engines commercial and military aircraft; as well as marine ships and vessels, trains, heavy construction equipment, and more.
