SMC-Flex: The New Smart Compact Soft Starter

Soft Starters are solid state devices that can be used in place of across the line motor starters to reduce the inrush current surge caused by large loads. This can minimize mechanical damage to belts, gears, and chains. The Soft Starter can also prevent the jarring of valuable products being conveyed in materials handling applications.

Other benefits of SMC-Flex are the limiting of line disturbances from in rush current, multiple start and stop modes, and diagnostic monitoring. The SMC-Flex offers all the features found in previous soft start controllers like the STC, SMC-2, SMC Plus, and SMC Dialog, but has added several new standard features.
