Hartzell Engine Tech’s PowerUp Ignition System Takes Flight

Hartzell Engine Tech, a trusted name in aviation, proudly announces the launch and immediate availability of its PowerUp Ignition System.

  

 

Hartzell Engine Tech manufactures FAA/PMA approved PowerUp aircraft magnetos, ignition leads, and harnesses.  They also offer all replacement parts for general aviation and military customers. The PowerUp Ignition system is built on Hartzell Engine Tech’s foundation of proven reliability and precise engineering.

All PowerUp products are proudly designed, built, tested, and distributed to meet higher acceptance criteria than industry standards.

 

Features of the New PowerUp Aircraft Ignition System

Designed as a direct replacement for Slick by Champion magnetos, PowerUp Ignition simplifies the upgrade process for aircraft owners. The PowerUp Ignition line introduces innovative design improvements, with top-notch magneto components, including:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Improved Impulse Coupling

A milled coupling hub for the aircraft’s ignition system significantly improves durability and manufacturability – a testament to PowerUp’s commitment to quality product solutions.

 

 

Improved Aircraft Capacitor

An enhanced capacitor design reduces the risk of rotation, and the internally grounded lead improves durability.

 

Improved Engine Coil

A thicker coil insulation gives this PowerUp ignition system increased power and higher spark, for optimal aircraft performance. 

 

 

Improved Breaker Assembly

When it comes to aviation systems, PowerUp understands precision is paramount. The new ignition system gives improved breaker points for more efficient and consistent engine reliability. 

 

 



 

Improved Distributor Gear

The advanced and upgraded distributor gear for this new aircraft ignition engine solidifies longevity and resilience, shielding arc erosion and engine degradation. 

 

Why Choose PowerUp Ignition Systems? 

Hartzell Engine Tech prioritizes precision and quality without compromising affordability. The PowerUp Ignition system is reliable and cost-effective, making it the right option for those seeking a balance between performance and budget. 

As a leading distributor and overhauler of aircraft accessory parts, our company is proud to announce all product shipments are now commencing on PowerUp products. 

 

In addition to the PowerUp Magneto, the PowerUp Ignition line consists of Aircraft Ignition Harnesses and Magneto Replacement and Detail Parts:

 

Aircraft Ignition Harness

What makes the PowerUp Ignition Harness superior?

UNIQUE SPRING DESIGN

PowerUp aircraft engine ignition harnesses incorporate a negative-pitch spring design (the tip of the coil spring extends inward) allowing the coil spring tip to lie flat against the spark plug electrode, providing 360º contact. Ignition energy is maximized and flashover is reduced to a minimum.

PERFORMANCE PLUS

Using a tinned-copper, nickel plated braid shielding substantially reduces EMI and combined with a very flexible 19 strand conductor of stainless steel wire provides the ultimate in wire conductivity and ease of installation.

REPLACEABLE CONTACT SPRINGS

Replacement springs are available separately saving you time and money when a field repair is necessary.

PLATED STEEL NUT 

Steel nuts offer superior strength compared to aluminum nuts and reduce the potential for galling during installation.

ABRASION AND HEAT RESISTANT

The abrasion resistant red polymer cover has been engineered specifically for high-temperatures.

 

 

 

 

SLICK/BENDIX REPLACEMENT PARTS

From washers and cotter pins to distributor blocks and impulse couplings, PowerUp has the largest catalog of Bendix, CMI, and Slick aircraft magneto replacement parts in the world. Our parts are made to specifications dictated by Federal Aviation Administration parts manufacturing approvals.

Our PMA process includes evaluating the OEM part for opportunities of improvement and incorporating those improvements while maintaining original form, fit and function.
