SIMU T3.5 / T5 / T6 – Mechanical Tubular Motor (used & refurbished | tested)
“I am the motor that has done its job faithfully 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 for roller shutters, awnings and roller doors alike.
The brand SIMU (Société Industrielle de Métal Usiné) is part of the Somfy Group and is considered a pioneer of modern tubular motor technology.
Developed and continuously improved over many years, SIMU motors are known for their mechanical stability, precise limit switch adjustment and long service life in daily operation.
These motors are the robust choice for anyone who values solid, craftsman-grade technology – whether for a residential roller shutter, a commercial awning or an industrial roller door.

Application areas: Roller shutters, awnings & roller doors
The SIMU T-series is known for its mechanical simplicity and outstanding reliability.
Thanks to mechanical limit switches, the travel distances can be adjusted precisely without the need for electronic control.
This makes them universally applicable – from small residential roller shutters to powerful drives for roller doors.
The robust T3.5, T5 and T6 series cover nearly all common shaft diameters and torque ranges, making them suitable for both new installations and replacements.

Sustainability meets safety
Through professional refurbishment, I extend the service life of these proven drives – a sustainable alternative to buying new.
All motors offered are tested in accordance with GPSR and meet current requirements for safety and function.
Each motor comes from trustworthy sources or from my own stock and is only passed on after successful functional testing.
