Description

Description

Ingersoll Rand air starters for the Rolls-Royce C8. The Rolls-Royce C8 is a 8-cylinder diesel engine of 16.2 liters (990 cu in). Our Air Starter Model Finder, built from Ingersoll Rand application data, recommends the ST2060B03R31, an ST2000 series turbine starter, on an SAE No. 3 flange with a right-hand pinion (12 teeth, 6/8 pitch).

Recommended Starters for the Rolls-Royce C8

Choice	Ingersoll Rand starter	Type	Supply pressure	Max power	IR diesel rating
Recommended	ST2060B03R31	ST2000 series turbine	30-150 psi	70 hp (52.2 kW) at 150 psi	Up to 150 L
Turbine option	150TMPF88R54	150T series turbine	30-150 psi	-	-
Vane option	150BMPE88R54	150BM series vane	90-150 psi	32 hp (24 kW) at 150 psi	Up to 32 L

Why These Starters Fit

Ingersoll Rand rates the ST2000 for diesel engines up to 150 L, so the 16.2 L C8 sits within its range.

You can choose between turbine and vane designs. The ST2060B03R31 turbine starter delivers up to 70 hp (52.2 kW) at 150 psi, uses 1290 scfm (609 L/s) at maximum power and runs on 30-150 psi. By comparison, the 150BMPE88R54 vane starter delivers up to 32 hp (24 kW) at 150 psi, uses 680 scfm (321 L/s) at maximum power and runs on 90-150 psi.

Flange, Rotation and Pinion

Flange: SAE No. 3. Rotation: right-hand. Pinion: code 31, 12 teeth, 6/8 pitch, 20° pressure angle.

Engine builders change flywheel housings, ring gears and rotation between applications and serial ranges, so match the flange, rotation and pinion on your existing starter's nameplate before you order.

Air Supply

The ST2060B03R31 runs on 30-150 psi and uses 1290 scfm (609 L/s) at maximum power. It is rated for compressed air only. The Model Finder pairs it with the ST1000-267-24 inlet strainer, which keeps scale and debris out of the motor.

Rolls-Royce C8 Air Starter FAQ

What air starter fits the Rolls-Royce C8?

The Model Finder recommends the ST2060B03R31. Alternatives are 150TMPF88R54, 150BMPE88R54. Confirm the flange, rotation and pinion against your current starter before ordering.

Can the ST2060B03R31 run on natural gas?

No. Ingersoll Rand rates the ST2060B03R31 for compressed air only.

Can I replace an electric starter on the C8 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 with your engine serial number so we can confirm the flange, pinion and air supply.

How do I confirm the right starter?

Send us the full model number from your existing starter's nameplate, or the engine make, model and serial number. Engine builders change ring gears and flywheel housings between serial ranges, so we confirm fit before quoting.

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.
