150BMPE88R51-200 Vane Air Starter by Ingersoll Rand

The Ingersoll Rand 150BMPE88R51-200 is a genuine IR 150BM-series vane pre-engaged air starter. It delivers up to 32 hp (24 kW) and 155 ft-lb of breakaway torque at 150 psi, and Ingersoll Rand recommends it for diesel engines from 8 to 27 liters. It uses the code 88 pre-engaged drive housing on an SAE No. 3 flange and drives a right-hand 13-tooth 8/10 pitch pinion. Ingersoll Rand supersedes current 150BM models with its 150T "F" turbine starters by changing the B to a T and the E to an F, so the 150TMPF88R51-200 is the turbine equivalent.

How to Read the Model Number

Why Choose the 150BMPE88R51?

• High torque from a vane motor. Strong breakaway torque for mid-size diesels.
   
• Pre-engaged drive. The pinion is fully in mesh before cranking begins, which reduces ring gear wear.
   
• No sparks, no batteries. Suited to marine, oil and gas, and hazardous-area service.
   
• Clocks to fit your engine. 4 inlet x 4 exhaust x 18 drive-housing positions, field serviceable.
   
• A proven design. Ingersoll Rand's 150BM is the benchmark mid-range vane starter.

150BMPE88R51-200 FAQ

What is the opposite-rotation version of the 150BMPE88R51-200?

The 150BMPE88L54-11A is the opposite-rotation counterpart. Power, flange and gearing are the same; only the rotation and the matching pinion code differ. Match the rotation printed on your existing starter's nameplate.

What replaces this starter?

Ingersoll Rand supersedes current 150BM models with its 150T "F" turbine starters by changing the B to a T and the E to an F, so the 150TMPF88R51-200 is the turbine equivalent.

Can it run on natural gas?

No. The 150BMP is built for compressed air. For natural gas, use a gas-sealed model such as the 150BMG, or a 150T "F" turbine, which is sealed for gas and air.

Can it crank for a long time?

Ingersoll Rand does not rate this starter for extended cranking (more than 10 seconds). For hard-starting engines or long crank cycles, choose a larger starter or a turbine model.

What air supply and accessories does it need?

Provide a 90 to 150 psi supply through a 1-1/4 in. line, with enough receiver volume to deliver up to 680 scfm while the engine cranks. Ingersoll Rand's matching accessories include SRV125, SRV125T relay valves, the NL-24-8 lubricator, 150BM-A674 muffler, and 150BMP-1051B / 150BMP-2451B solenoid valves.

What does the suffix at the end mean?

The 200 suffix is the orientation code. It sets how the inlet, exhaust and drive housing are positioned, not whether the starter fits. If you are replacing an existing starter, match the full number on its nameplate.
