Shop Soft Starters

The moment a motor starts, it creates immense mechanical and electrical stress that can lead to premature wear on machinery. A soft starter expertly controls voltage and current to provide a smooth, controlled ramp-up to full speed. 

Blackhawk Supply offers a curated selection of durable soft starters that protect your valuable assets and optimize your operations. 

Find the Right Soft Start for Sale

Our robust, reliable soft starters are sourced from trusted manufacturers and are specifically intended for the demanding environments of commercial and industrial applications. These soft starters provide a smooth, gradual motor ramp-up, reducing the sudden mechanical jolt on belts, gears and couplings. That means fewer breakdowns, longer equipment life and increased operational uptime.

With Blackhawk Supply, it's easy to find a soft starter that matches your exact specifications. Our collection covers a wide range of voltage ratings, motor horsepower, phase requirements and specific enclosure types for different operating environments. 

Soft Starters for Any Application

Soft starters are used in a wide variety of applications where it's beneficial to reduce the mechanical and electrical stress of starting an electric motor, including: 

Pumps 

Starting a pump system instantly can cause a damaging pressure surge known as "water hammer." A soft starter smoothly brings the pump up to speed, preventing water hammer, which in turn protects pipes, valves and joints from stress and failure. It also reduces mechanical shock on the motor shaft and pump impeller.

Fans and Blowers

Large industrial fans and blowers have high inertia and require significant torque to get moving. A soft starter reduces the strain on belts, pulleys and bearings during startup. This prevents belts from slipping, squealing or breaking, and it extends the life of the mechanical components.

Conveyor and Belt-Driven Systems

When a conveyor system starts instantly, the sudden jerk can cause products to shift, tip over or fall off the line. By providing a gentle start, a soft starter keeps products stable. It also reduces the shock load on gearboxes, chains and belts, preventing premature wear and failure.

Compressors 

Compressors, especially reciprocating and scroll types, can draw a very high inrush of electrical current when they start. A soft starter limits this high inrush current, which can help prevent voltage dips on the electrical network. This is particularly useful for sites with limited power supply or where high-demand charges from the utility are a concern.

Buy Soft Starters From Blackhawk Supply

Protecting your motors and machinery from the costly effects of hard starts is a smart investment in operational continuity. The right soft starter helps prevent breakdowns and contributes to a more stable and efficient electrical system.
