A. The WAI 18492N is a 12V, 1.4kW starter motor of Hitachi OSGR (offset gear reduction) design. It runs clockwise rotation with a 9-tooth drive pinion and is supplied brand new — not remanufactured.
A. OSGR stands for Offset Gear Reduction. This design uses an internal reduction gear set to multiply torque at the pinion without increasing the motor's physical size, producing strong cranking force from a compact unit. When replacing a starter motor, matching the OSGR design is important because the mounting, pinion engagement geometry and electrical characteristics differ from conventional direct-drive or planetary-gear units. The WAI 18492N matches the original Hitachi OSGR specification.
A. It is brand new. The WAI 18492N is supplied as a new unit with no previous service history, meeting the original Hitachi dimensional and electrical tolerances.
