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.

Cost Effective, Quick Payback with Reduced Downtime, Parts and Repairs
Simple Startup and Installation
Compact Size, Enables Packaging for Harsh Environments
Proven Method to Extend Motor Life
Eliminates Electro-Mechanical Starters and the Maintenance Required for these Devices
Built-in Bypass for Critical Applications
Serial and Fieldbus Communications
Wide Range of Voltage and Current
Three Product Families-Basic to Advanced
Soft starting extends the current waveform over the start time, which allows the user to limit the current level to what is required to start the load.
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 EMX3 series utilizes the latest technology in soft starters, including new adaptive accelleration technology for the ultimate in control.
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.
In addition to these stand alone modules we also offer Packaged Soft Starter solutions for both normal duty and heavy duty applications.
