T30-IInertia EngagementThe T30-I (shown above) isthe inertia engaged versionof the T30. It meets hightorque, low air/gasconsumption requirementsand, like the whole line ofT30s, is natural gas ready.

T30-PPre-Engaged

T30-P is the pre-engagedversion of the T30. Itfeatures a posi-tork drivewith over-running clutch,and requires the pilot-controlled TDI TurboValverelay valve.

T30-Y Pre-EngagedOverhung Pinion

The versatile, pre-engagedoverhung drive design wasdesigned for Europeanengines and features metricpinions and a wide variety ofmounting options.

T30-M IndustrialAir/Gas Drive MotorThe T30-M is designed forpre-and-post-lube seal oilpump operation. It usessignificantly less air anddelivers the industry’s highesttorque in its class.

TDI developed the first turbine air starters in 1979. Today there are more TurboTwins in operation than all otherturbine air starters combined. TurboTwin is not only the most reliable, it’s also the most specified aftermarketturbine air starter among system packagers and engine end users.

Lots of Power in Lots of IndustriesThe T30 generates up to 25% morestall torque than other starters in itsclass. Its highly efficient twin-turbinemotor design gives you morecranking power with less air for fasterstarts. Unlike starters that require amechanical automatic trip valve(ATV), the T30 uses aerodynamics tocontrol motor speed, giving you totalcontrol over the start cycle.

LightweightAt 29 lbs. (13.2 kg) the T30 is lighterand more compact than otherstarters in its class.

The Longest Lasting, Most ReliableEngine Starter—Here’s Why:The T30 Turbine Air Starter isdesigned to thrive in the world’sdirtiest, messiest environments. Wetor contaminated air have no effect onthe T30. There are no rubbing vanesto stick, swell or wear out— whichtranslates into longer lasting, morereliable starting, regardless ofconditions.

No Mess, No Fugitive EmissionsThe vaneless design of the T30 isgrease-packed for life, therebyeliminating fugitive starter exhaustemissions caused by messy, oilyexhaust residues. Less mess, less

maintenance, and a cleanenvironment for your enginemakes sense, doesn’t it?

No Plastic Parts and Half theMoving Parts Yield QualityQuality has been designed into theT30. We’ve minimized the movingparts (less than half the number oncompetitive models). We refused tocompromise the design by cuttingcorners with “plastic parts.” Theresult is a rugged starter made ofhigh-strength steel and aluminumalloys that lasts longer and deliverssignificantly more starting cranksthan other similar-size systems.
