Starting a motor shouldn’t mean stressing your system. AuCom soft starters redefine how industries approach motor control, combining precision, reliability, and efficiency in one intelligent solution. Designed to minimize electrical and mechanical stress, they reduce wear on motors and connected equipment, lower energy costs, and extend system lifetime. From installation to operation, AuCom soft starters deliver consistent performance and seamless integration into industrial automation.
Why choose a soft starter
In most industrial applications, motors operate at a fixed speed. Direct-on-line starting can cause high inrush currents, torque shocks, and costly mechanical wear. Soft starters provide controlled acceleration and deceleration, protecting pumps, conveyors, compressors, and fans from unnecessary stress. They are the efficient choice whenever variable speed isn’t required but precise control and protection are essential.
The EMX4 series – intelligent motor control made simple
The EMX4 soft starter represents a new standard in low-voltage motor control. Compact, powerful, and easy to use, it delivers advanced protection and adaptive performance through features such as:
- Built-in bypass for optimized cooling and energy efficiency
- Smart Card technology for application-specific functionality (e.g. pumps, conveyors, fans)
- Intuitive multilingual display with real-time performance data
- USB connectivity and simplified parameter setup
- Emergency and simulation modes for faster commissioning
- Robust motor protection and current ramp control for long-term reliability
With Smart Card capability, the EMX4 becomes more than a starter, it transforms into a complete motor management system.
Efficiency built in
Energy efficiency starts with smart engineering. AuCom soft starters achieve up to 99.5 % operating efficiency in fixed-speed applications, making them significantly more economical than variable speed drives where speed control isn’t required. Features such as Sleep Mode, Auto Restart, and communication options like Modbus, Profibus, or Ethernet ensure smooth integration into modern control environments while keeping energy use to a minimum.
