Comparison of industrial sectional door drives
Voltage, torque, controls, chain/cable lengths & scope of delivery – so you can choose the right set right away.
Important differences at a glance
- Voltage: 230 V AC (compact systems) vs. 400 V AC (large/heavy gates).
- Torque & rated speed: e.g. 60–120 Nm, 19–45 min⁻¹ – depending on the door area.
- Control: CS 320 (load contactor), CS 320 FU-I (with frequency converter) – smooth start-up, precise running.
- Chain/cable lengths: Reel chain & cable set included in delivery (see table).
- Application: spring-balanced sectional doors (e.g. 20/30/45 m²) vs. heavy industrial drives.

Frequency/special drives
FU28 (230 V) as frequency converter for control operation; industrial drive 400-140 (140 Nm, 30 rpm) for heavy gates.
Complete sets (up to 45 m²) & emergency crank
For large, spring-balanced door surfaces; with load protection control. Optionally with emergency crank for manual opening.
Practical examples
Hall, 28 m² gate area: 400 V Set STA 1-10-24 (100 Nm/24 min⁻¹) for smooth running and reserves.
Gate with many cycles: 230 V STAI 1-8-45 with CS 320 FU-I – soft ramps, less wear.
Large gate, 45 m²: STA 1-12-19 (120 Nm/19 min⁻¹) / Complete set up to 45 m².
Selection tips
- Check the door area first: 20 m² → STAW; 20–30 m² → STAI/STA 100–110 Nm; 45 m² → STA 120 Nm/complete set.
- Cycles / Smooth running: Frequent cycles & smooth running → CS 320 FU-I.
- Environment: IP65 is preferable for humid/dusty areas; IP54 for dry areas.
- Installation planning: Check chain/cable lengths from the table (reel chain, cable set, spiral cable).
FAQ
How do I make the choice based on the goal area?
As a guideline: up to 20 m² → 60–80 Nm; up to 30 m² → 100–110 Nm; up to 45 m² → 120 Nm (depending on the door design).
When do I need a frequency converter?
For high cycles, sensitive goods, quiet running requirements or when the door should move “smoothly”.
Is there an emergency operation?
Yes, sets with a winch chain or emergency crank allow manual opening in the event of a power failure.
