System comparison

Which drive solution fits your application?

The appropriate system class depends not only on the supply voltage, but above all on the motion sequence, control requirements, and desired positioning accuracy.

Comparison of 24V, 400V, and servo rotary actuator systems
Criterion 24V system 400-V system Servo system
Typical task Simple to controlled rotary motion Robust industrial rotary motion Precise and dynamic positioning
Supply 24 V DC 230 / 400 V AC Depending on the selected servo system
Speed control Possible via motor driver Possible via frequency inverter About servo controllers as a system function
Positioning Simple limit positions or encoder solution possible Achievable with transmitter and controller Defined angles, positions, and motion profiles
Operation pushbutton, input signal or small control unit Pushbutton, PLC, HMI, or machine control PLC, HMI, motion controller or fieldbus
Typical applications Mobile devices, solar tracking and small rotary tables Mechanical engineering, assembly fixtures, conveyor and welding technology Test benches, automation, measuring and positioning axes
Special strength Compact, efficient, and easy to integrate Robust, powerful, and industrial-grade Precise, flexibly programmable and dynamic

The final design is determined based on load, center of gravity, rotational speed, axis position, cycle time, duty cycle, and safety requirements.
