Hörmann 7560 and 8560: compare rail limits and connectivity

The current U.S. brochure distinguishes daily duty and rail sizes; the 8560 maximum width and height cannot simply be combined.

Match the model before choosing a document

Identifier: 7560 / 8560. This guide compares a family or related models. Use the exact configuration on your label.

Models covered: 7560, 8560. They are separate configurations; compare the applicable facts and documents below.

Other listed names: SilentDrive. A shared marketing name does not establish an identical package or revision.

Both use an aramid-reinforced belt. Bluetooth control is listed, while a Wi-Fi gateway and backup battery are optional.

The 7560 table lists 25 cycles per day; 8560 lists 50. Both have a 10-cycle hourly limit, so the daily difference is not a doubled hourly rating.

The 8560 rail note pairs a 10-foot rail with a maximum 20-foot door width and a 14-foot rail with a maximum 14-foot width. The headline maximums do not approve a 20-by-14-foot door.
