Hartzell Engine Tech has launched POWERUP Aircraft Ignition Systems. Production is underway, according to company officials.
POWERUP Aircraft Ignition Systems include FAA/PMA approved aircraft magnetos, ignition harnesses, Slick, Bendix, and Continental replacement parts and magneto repair kits.
Hartzell Engine Tech added the product portfolio last year. It is now the largest Hartzell Engine Tech operation, joining Janitrol Aero, Fuelcraft, Plane-Power, Sky-Tec, and AeroForce Turbocharger Systems, company officials noted.
According to company officials, the POWERUP ignition line introduces design improvements including:
- A single-piece impulse coupling (no rivets) hub that improves durability and reliability, and is not subject to Champion Service Bulletin SB2-19A inspections
- Enhanced capacitor design with a toughened stud anchor
- Thicker coil insulation for increased service life
- Improved breaker points with an all-steel mount stack-up
- An upgraded distributor gear to protect against arc erosion
The POWERUP product line is available through a global distributor network. Additionally, Hartzell Aviation sister company Quality Aircraft Accessories will begin incorporating POWERUP magneto components into its overhaul processes, replacing legacy Slick components.
