Simu T5 T6 ESP awning motor repair | electronic | cassette awnings

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.
