Saftronics Soft Starters have been providing precise controlled AC motor starting and stopping for decades. We pioneered this motor control technology to limit the current to a motor on both acceleration and deceleration to provide a longer life to both motor and machinery.

Emerson offers a complete range of low-voltage AC motor soft starters suitable for both normal and heavy duty applications., plus packaged models such as our "Crusher-Duty" soft starters. Our soft starters feature a universal voltage input which can accommodate 200 – 600VAC 3Ø input supply. Modbus, Profibus, DeviceNet, RS-485, LonWorks and FIPIO options are available.

Our Soft Starters:

Our CSX / CSXi series has one of the smallest foot prints available, and includes a built-in bypass contactor, resulting in significant space savings; ideal for MCC applications.

The IMS2 series offers a total motor starting solution for higher horsepower range , combining high level functionality with flexibility and ease of use.

The AS6 series with forward/reverse jogging, serial communications, dynamic motor mapping and complete monitoring capabilities allows the customer a choice when it comes to motor starting solutions. Expanded I/O capabilities on both the IMS2 and AS6 allows easy interface to existing equipment.

The DY5 is an electronic AC motor brake that can be applied to most starters. Installation is simple and fast. Use the DY5 to stop AC motors safely and quickly.
