OEX Starter Motor 24V 11 Tooth CW Mitsubishi Style MXS234

The OEX MXS234 is a new 24V starter motor with 11 teeth, clockwise rotation, and a 3.2kW power rating. It is listed as a Mitsubishi style unit and uses a 2 hole starter mount, so matching the mounting layout and electrical specification is essential before ordering.

Key dimensions for checking against the existing starter include a 105mm mount centres measurement, 82mm flange diameter, 12mm mount hole diameter, 250mm overall length, 42mm pinion diameter, and 22mm pinion at rest. The unit weighs 5.7kg and is supplied as each.

OEX states the product is sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with production from ISO certified factories. The starter is backed by a 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial warranty, which may be relevant depending on how the vehicle or equipment is used.

Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, compare the part number MXS234 and the starter’s physical measurements with the unit you are replacing. The important checks here are 24V operation, 11 teeth, clockwise rotation, 2 hole mounting, and the 105mm mount centres, because those details need to line up with the vehicle or machine application.

The listed fitment includes Komatsu FD20/23/25/28/30/30D, Mitsubishi industrial forklifts, Mitsubishi Industrial S4E, and Nissan industrial forklift applications. Even within those groups, the mounting pattern, pinion count, rotation, and overall length still need to be confirmed against the removed starter or the machine details before fitting.

This is a dry clutch starter motor, so it should be matched to an application that calls for that arrangement. The 82mm flange diameter, 12mm mount hole diameter, 250mm overall length, and 42mm pinion diameter are useful cross-checks when comparing against the existing part, especially where multiple starter styles have been used across industrial equipment.

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 MXS234 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.

OEX Starter Motor 24V 11Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS234 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 24. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number MXS234, 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 24 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

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.

The listed warranty is 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility by matching part number MXS234, the 24V specification, 11 tooth CW configuration, and the listed mounting and dimensional details against the vehicle or machine before purchase.
