Simu T5/T6 ESP tubular motor repair – specialist workshop for electronic awning motors with limit-stop technology

 

Your Simu tubular motor says:

“I was the motor that always knew when to stop – thanks to my electronic limit detection.”

“At Thomas Reh, I learned to stop precisely again – smooth, accurate and reliable for your awning.”

 

The electronic Simu motor for awnings

The Simu T5/T6 ESP motors are electronically controlled drives specifically developed for cassette awnings and counter-tension systems. They combine precise limit-stop technology with a robust mechanical design, ensuring exact stopping points when extending and retracting the awning.

Thanks to electronic limit detection, the settings remain stored permanently and can be re-parameterised if required. These motors operate with exceptional smoothness and long service life, making them ideal for high-quality awning constructions and counter-tension mechanisms.

Each repair is carried out in a certified workshop, electronically tested and configured with the original factory parameters for awning drives – “tested” for the next outdoor season.

    Troubleshooting Promise for Tubular Motors

    Is your tubular motor no longer responding, only moving briefly, or making a typical "click" sound? Not every defect automatically means a total economic loss.

    In many cases, motors can be sent in directly and repaired. In the event of unclear or borderline fault symptoms, however, I recommend a telephone pre-assessment. This allows us to estimate in advance whether a repair appears realistic or whether a total loss may be present.

    After prior consultation, my Troubleshooting Promise applies: I carefully inspect the submitted tubular motor for repairability. If repair is not technically reasonable or economically viable, only the agreed troubleshooting flat rate of €35 plus any return shipping costs will be charged.

    In any case, you will receive a transparent professional assessment and can then decide yourself on the next steps.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Tubular Motor Diagnosis

    Do I need to call before every shipment? No. Many motors can be sent in directly. However, in the case of unclear or unusual fault symptoms, a telephone consultation is recommended.

    When does the Troubleshooting Promise apply? The promise applies after prior coordination if repairability is to be assessed.

    What happens in the event of a total loss? If repair is not reasonable, only the troubleshooting flat rate of €25 plus any return shipping costs will be charged.

  • Einstell- & Reset-Leihkabel für Motoren

    Reset tubular motor & set end positions – optional rental cable

    For resetting to factory settings or re-adjusting the end positions, many 230V tubular motors may require a setting cable – especially when the reset sequence must be triggered via the circuit breaker (fuse) and the motor is not within sight or hearing range. Many drives confirm the reset with a clicking sound or a brief motor movement. With a universally applicable setting & reset rental cable, commissioning or resetting can be carried out in a more controlled manner without having to switch repeatedly between the motor and the fuse box. The rental cable is not included in this motor offer but can be ordered separately in the shop, subject to availability. Further information: View universal setting & reset rental cable
