Description for part number 20R-6872
Cat Reman air starter motors such as part # 20R6872 are available in both vane and turbine types. Vane starters use rotating vanes that slide against the internal housing. They cost less and are more rugged, but usually require more frequent maintenance. Turbine starters have a turbine wheel that extracts power from compressed air. With no contact parts, they’re lighter and offer longer service life. While more expensive initially, turbine starters are quieter and offer longer service life with less frequent maintenance. Remanufactured cores are completely disassembled, cleaned, and inspected for reusability. Each unit is rigorously tested against original specifications, so you know you’re getting genuine Caterpillar reliability.
Attributes: • You're buying less downtime and lower repair bills, helping you reduce owning and operating costs. • Cat Reman air starter motors provide like new performance and reliability at fraction-of-new costs with return of a qualifying core, while reducing the impact on the environment compared to buying new. • Cat Reman air starter motors are covered with a same-as-new, 12-month Caterpillar Limited Warranty 1 against Caterpillar defects in material and/or workmanship. • Cat Reman offers drop-in solution.
1 Warranty can vary by model and application; limitations apply. For complete details about the applicable Caterpillar Limited Warranty, contact an authorized Cat dealer.
