OEX Starter Motor 12V 9T CW Hitachi Style HXS020

The OEX Starter Motor HXS020 is a new 12V starter motor with 9 teeth, clockwise rotation and a 2kW power rating. It is listed as a Hitachi style unit and suits Hitachi applications, with a 2 hole starter mount, 95mm flange diameter and 120mm mount centres.

Key physical details matter on starter replacement jobs, and this unit is specified with an overall length of 225mm, a 35mm pinion diameter, 11mm pinion at rest and 11mm mount hole diameter. The unit weighs 5.46kg and is supplied as each.

The note supplied with this part says the option offered is to be checked for suitability, and that the unit may be obstructed by the dip stick. That makes physical comparison especially important before fitting, even when the electrical specification and mount style appear close.

Application and Buying Notes

Start with the part number HXS020 and then compare the physical measurements against the original unit. The key checks here are 12V system voltage, 9 tooth pinion, clockwise rotation, 2 hole mount, 120mm mount centres and the 95mm flange diameter. If any of those differ from the existing starter, do not assume it will suit.

The stated 2kW power rating and 225mm overall length are important when you are matching a starter to an existing installation. The note that the unit may be obstructed by the dip stick is also worth taking seriously, because space around the mounting position can affect whether the starter physically clears surrounding components.

Although fitment references are supplied for Nissan and Airman applications, the safest buying check remains the same: confirm the vehicle application, compare the starter type, and match the mounting measurements and pinion details. The presence of a Hitachi style reference helps narrow the search, but it is not a substitute for checking the actual unit on the vehicle.

This starter is supplied new, not remanufactured, and carries a 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial warranty. Warranty coverage does not replace fitment checking, so it is still important to confirm the mount hole diameter of 11mm, pinion diameter of 35mm and pinion at rest of 11mm before ordering.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number HXS020 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For part number HXS020, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include AIRMAN PDS185S, AIRMAN PDS185S 2018, NISSAN CABSTAR, NISSAN CABSTAR 1987, NISSAN CABSTAR 1988, NISSAN CABSTAR 1989. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Confirm suitability by matching part number HXS020, 12V voltage, CW rotation, 9 tooth pinion, 2 hole mount and the listed dimensions against the existing starter and vehicle application before purchase.
