SIMU T3.5 / T5 / T6 – mechanical tubular motor (used & refurbished | tested)
"I am the engine that has faithfully performed its work for decades – robust, precise and suitable for almost any application."
I offer used tubular motors from the SIMU T3.5, T5 and T6 series – reliable mechanical drives that can be used in roller shutters, awnings and roller doors alike.
The SIMU brand (Société Industrielle de Métal Usiné) belongs to the Somfy Group and is one of the pioneers of modern tubular motor technology.
Co-developed and continuously improved, SIMU motors still stand for mechanical stability, precise end-stop functionality and a long service life in daily use.
These motors are the robust choice for anyone who values solid, handcrafted technology – whether for private roller shutters, commercial awnings or industrial roller doors.Testing and preparation in the craft business
- Function and running behavior
- Mechanical limit switch and direction of rotation
- Electrical safety according to GPSR
- Condition of the connecting cable and the mechanical coupling
Wear parts are replaced as needed, so that the engine is technically inspected and immediately ready for use again.
Area of application: Roller shutters, awnings & roller doors
The SIMU T-series is known for its mechanical simplicity and reliability.
The mechanical end stop allows the travel distances to be precisely adjusted without the need for electronic control.
This makes them universally applicable – from small roller shutter motors in living areas to powerful drives for roller doors.
The robust T3.5, T5 and T6 series cover almost all common shaft diameters and torque ranges, making them suitable for use in both new installations and replacement projects.
Sustainability meets safety
By professionally refurbishing them, I extend the lifespan of these proven drives – a sustainable alternative to buying new ones.
All offered motors are tested according to GPSR standards and meet current safety and functional requirements.
Each motor comes from trusted sources or from my own stock and is only passed on after successful functional testing.
