SW Series Washdown Drives

Ratings from 240 - 480V up to 30HP

Compact Drives for Harsh Environments

Benshaw SW Washdown Drives are compact, powerful drives designed for the most demanding applications. No matter how harsh the ambient conditions, Benshaw’s SW drive series is ready to perform in different fields across the globe.

Benshaw SW Series Washdown Drives are rated for heavy duty applications ranging from 0.5 – 30HP. Designed for high pressure washdown environments, all SW Series drives feature a rugged UL Type 4X (IP66) indoor rated polycarbonate enclosure that exceeds NEMA 1, 12, 4 and 4X standards. In addition, all drives in the SW Series include a convenient built-in power disconnect switch, software that provides the flexibility to program your SW Series drive for V/Hz, sensorless vector or slip compensation operation, an on-board RJ45 port (Modbus-RTU), an EMC filter (480V models) and a four digit/seven segment display. The SW Series’ compact size makes it ideal for either stand-alone or side-by-side installation.

An optional remote keypad is also available, making SW Series Washdown Drives even easier to control.
