🔍 Key Concepts

• Bendix drive operation in a starter motor (how the pinion gear engages and disengages the flywheel) • What happens to torque and speed of the flywheel and pinion after the engine starts • The role of springs vs. driven torque in disengaging mechanical drives

💭 Think About

• Think about which part is driving which: before the engine starts, what turns what? After the engine fires and runs on its own, what changes in direction of power flow? • Which of the options actually reacts to the engine reaching higher speed than the starter motor, causing the gears to separate? • Is accumulator pressure or a cam normally involved in the automatic disengagement of a simple Bendix drive, or is it more of a direct mechanical reaction to speed/torque change?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that a Bendix drive is a mechanical, speed‑sensitive engagement system, not a hydraulic one. • Identify which option correctly describes a reaction to the flywheel’s motion once the engine is running, not the initiating engagement. • Eliminate any option that would require continuous external actuation instead of automatic disengagement due to motion/torque change.
