Allen Bradley SMC-50 Soft Starter Applications

• Pumps: The torque control feature of the Allen Bradley SMC-50 softstarters is particularly beneficial for pump applications, minimizing water hammer and extending equipment lifespan. This is very important in waste water, and fresh water applications.
• Fans: Soft starting reduces mechanical stress on fan systems, preventing belt slippage and extending the life of both the fan and the motor.
• Compressors: By reducing starting torque, Allen Bradley SMC-50 softstarters minimize mechanical stress on compressors, leading to increased reliability and longevity.
• Conveyor Belts: Smooth acceleration and deceleration prevent product damage and reduce wear on conveyor systems.

Benefits Across Applications:

• Reduced mechanical stress: Soft starting and stopping minimize wear and tear on motors and connected equipment.
• Reduced electrical stress: Limiting starting current reduces voltage dips and stress on the electrical grid.
• Improved process control: Torque control and other advanced features enable precise control of motor acceleration and deceleration.
• Increased reliability: Built-in motor protection features enhance the overall reliability of the system.

Allen Bradley SMC-50 softstarters are valuable in any application where controlled motor starting and stopping are essential for optimizing performance and extending equipment life.
