Reduce wear and tear on your equipment with Allen-Bradley Soft Starters

Allen-Bradley’s Soft Starters are designed to help minimize cost by reducing overall system power requirements and wear and tear on equipment.

Their SMC™ Controllers can be easily integrated into your intelligent motor control solution to offer higher productivity and shorter downtimes. This SMC line is also an ideal alternative to a drive where a more cost-effective, simple solution is required. We offer a diverse line of soft-starters to meet your communication, control and space requirements.

There are three options of Soft Starters available:

SMC Flex Soft Starters

The SMC Flex Controller provides microprocessor-controlled starting for standard 3-phase squirrel-cage induction or Wye-Delta (6-lead) motors. We offer seven standard modes of operation within a single controller.

SMC-3 Soft Starters

The SMC™-3 Smart Controller is a compact, simple to use, solid-state motor controller designed to operate 3-phase motors. It has a built-in overload relay and a built-in SCR bypass contactor on all three phases, allowing a smaller footprint than other soft starters on the market.

SMC-50 Soft Starters

Our SMC™-50 Soft Starters are available in three frame sizes and range from 180...520 A. This micro-processor based, fully solid-state soft motor starter helps maximize efficiency for motor starts and stops.
