🔍 Key Concepts

• Bendix drive function in an electric starter system • How shock loads are controlled when a pinion gear first engages a flywheel • Difference between an overrunning clutch, a friction clutch, and a solenoid

💭 Think About

• Think about which component is specifically designed to slip or cushion when there is a sudden change in speed or load. • Consider which part’s MAIN purpose is to transmit torque in one direction but protect against damage from sudden engagement. • Ask yourself: does the solenoid or the pinion itself actually ABSORB shock, or do they mainly move parts into place?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which device in a Bendix-type starter is intended to provide controlled slippage under shock load. • Confirm which component’s primary role is engagement and movement, not shock absorption. • Verify in your notes how an overrunning clutch differs from a friction clutch in starter systems.
