EPApower produces two variants of the ROTAX 912 ULS engine.

SA-R912i

The SA-R912i is a polished and dynamically balanced 912 ULS with EPApower electronic fuel injection.

912+

The 912+ is a polished and dynamically balanced 912 ULS.

For More Information

Additional information about the 912i and 912+ versions will posted to this Web site in late summer, 2011. The engines will be available at that time.

EPApower performance parts may be installed in ROTAX 900 series engines. These parts are available for Experimental aircraft including Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (E-LSA); they may also be installed in production Light Sport Aircraft (S-LSA) with manufacturer’s approval.

26-Amp Gen2 Coaxial Alternator

EPApower Gen2 Coax Alternator Kit

The first EPApower performance part to come to market is the 26-Amp Gen2 Coaxial Alternator.

The Problem With Conventional Auxiliary Alternators

Until now, the auxiliary alternators available for ROTAX 900-Series engines were driven from the top of the propeller gear box, which is a reduced RPM drive source in an inconvenient location. No matter how high the output potential of these alternators, the useful electrical output is low because RPMs are reduced, even when the engine is operating at max continuous power. The situation is compounded when operating the engine at or near idle, with high electric power demand, during critical operations such as night-time or IFR approach to landing and ground movements.

High RPM  • High Output • Convenient Location

Here’s how the Gen2 overcomes those problems. It is mounted coaxially with the ROTAX alternator, and is driven at full engine speed, not at geared-down, reduced speed. No gears or belts are involved. Its location, at the aft end of the engine in line with the crankshaft, is out of the way where it cannot interfere with the cowling or with airflow.

Independent, Supplementary and Backup Electrical Power

Gen2 is an independent alternator with its own regulator, providing supplementary electrical power, and also functioning as a backup to the ROTAX alternator.

The Gen2 does not require an external mount. It takes no space under the cowling and  is crankshaft driven just like the existing 18-Amp ROTAX alternator. Gen2 bolts to the aft end of the engine and adds 26 Amps of reliable power, for a combined output of 44 Amps.

Kit Components

Components of the Gen2 system kit include:

• Stator coil assembly
• Rotor assembly with permanent magnets
• Long bolt (replaces standard ROTAX bolt)
• Wire connector
• Regulator
• Panel light & label
• Circuit breaker
• Schematic diagram
• Installation instructions
