Engineered for extreme performance, heavy torque applications, and reliable mounting in hazardous and general manufacturing environments worldwide.
In heavy industrial machinery, transmission systems, and complex physical setups, motor mounting options are pivotal to structural safety and torque transfer efficiency. The Foot Flange Mounted Motor (commonly designated as IM B35 under IEC standards) stands out as the ultimate hybrid solution. It merges the heavy load support of a rigid foot mount (IM B3) with the precision radial alignment capability of a flange mount (IM B5).
This dual configuration provides unparalleled mechanical stability. By distributing load stresses through both the foundation bedplate and the machinery's direct mating face, foot flange mounted motors significantly reduce vibrations, suppress axial shaft play, and protect gearboxes from misalignments. From variable frequency systems to explosive atmospheres, they represent the absolute default for reliability.
As a leading Chinese manufacturer, Xi'an Lite SIMO Motor Co., Ltd. applies advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to verify the dynamic rigidity of both our cast iron and steel plate frames, ensuring that every B35 motor stands up to extreme torsional loads in harsh operating conditions.
How Chinese motor manufacturing hubs leverage massive raw material integration, strict testing criteria, and economic scale to provide unbeatable quality and efficiency.
China's steel industry delivers high-grade cold-rolled non-oriented silicon steel sheets (such as 50W470 and 50W270) with low core loss. Combined with 99.99% high-purity oxygen-free copper coils, our foot flange motors yield lower I²R winding losses and thermal margins.
Chinese factories are highly adept at customizing shaft extensions, non-standard flange dimensions (FF, FT, or custom PCD configurations), and tailored paint systems (up to C5-M marine-grade protection) to drop directly into existing structures.
State-of-the-art national testing centers inside SIMO Motor analyze vibration velocity, noise levels, and partial discharge characteristics. Full load tests, temperature rise runs, and IP rating verifications are standard protocol.
From a state-owned enterprise in 1955 to China's leading comprehensive manufacturer and service supplier of large, medium-sized, high/low voltage electric motors.
Originally established in 1955 under government stewardship, Xi’an Lite SIMO Motor Co., Ltd. has developed over more than 60 years of history. SIMO operates 3 manufacturing factories and one subsidiary factory, utilizing a fleet of 1,172 sets of advanced equipment. Our R&D group comprises 260 technical engineers, including 21 senior engineers and 15 expert engineers, dedicated to motor design, casting, precision CNC machining, vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) coil wrapping, and comprehensive computer-aided performance testing.
SIMO Motor is established and led by the Chinese government, initiating localized heavy machinery manufacturing.
The factory moves to a new plant in the historic industrial hub of Xi'an city to scale operations.
Renamed to Xi'an Motor Factory after a series of targeted state-driven acquisitions and integrations.
Successfully reformed into a limited company from a state-owned factory, accelerating market agility.
SIMO Motor Group is established, managing 14 specialized subsidiaries across various motor components.
Operations relocate to a high-tech, advanced new plant equipped with modern automated testing centers.
Officially changes its name to Tech Full Simo Motor, aligning with dynamic global engineering exports.
Sustaining fast-growing development to remain one of the best motor manufacturers on the global stage.
A massive portfolio covering 34 major series, more than 1,800 varieties, and 19,500 specifications ranging from 0.35kW to 25,000kW.
Xi'an Lite SIMO offers an expansive array of motor configurations designed to fit diverse mounting forms, voltages, and drive systems. Our main products include:
How our foot flange mounted motors are integrated globally across challenging operating sectors to drive industrial productivity.
Volatile atmospheres demand absolute safety. Our flameproof B35 motors, like the YBX4 and YBBP series, are flange-connected directly to positive displacement pumps, ensuring zero flammable gas ingress while the foot mount secures the motor to the oil-base foundation.
Underground mining places intense physical load on heavy equipment. Our TDMK and YBK3 motors drive mine milling systems, conveyor belts, and fans where coal dust concentrations are high. Double flange-foot mounting dampens the impact of mineral crushing vibrations.
Large-scale municipal water transfer and irrigation plants utilize YXKS and YKK high voltage motors. These installations often feature vertical or horizontal foot-flange setups to handle huge fluid volumes with minimum structural stress and high efficiency.
Certified by leading classification societies and test labs worldwide to guarantee safety, quality, and seamless grid compatibility.
SIMO Motor has successfully passed ISO9001 Quality System Certification, the European Union's CE certificate, US safety mark UL certification, and Russia's GOST standards. Our motors comply with international IEC, NEMA, and GB standards, allowing them to serve projects on every continent.

Engineering procurement managers must evaluate several core attributes before ordering to ensure seamless fitment, long-term bearing life, and low downtime rates:
With our in-house laboratory, SIMO Motor designs customized carbon brushes, custom voltage options (such as 3300V, 6600V, or 11000V), single-phase or multi-speed configurations, and heavy duty steel-mill frame sizes. We can match any legacy European or American foot-flange dimension without requiring system rebuilds.
Technical clarifications on performance, mounting standards, and manufacturing lead times.
IM B3 indicates a foot-mounted motor without a flange, designed to sit directly on a foundation bedplate. IM B5 indicates a flange-mounted motor without feet, typically mounted directly to a gearbox or pump face. IM B35 (Foot Flange Mounted) is a hybrid configuration containing both feet and a flange, offering the heavy load-bearing support of the feet alongside the radial self-centering and precision alignment of the flange.
Yes, but vertical operation (e.g., IM V1 or IM V15) requires special bearing configurations (such as angular contact ball bearings or spherical roller thrust bearings) to handle axial thrust load. Always specify the mounting orientation (shaft up or shaft down) during the inquiry phase to ensure correct lubrication and mechanical layout.
Our YBX3, YBX4, and YBBP series explosion-proof motors use flameproof enclosures designed to withstand internal gas explosions without propagating flame to the surrounding atmosphere. They carry strict certification codes like Ex d IIC T4 Gb and Dust explosion ratings (Ex tD A21 IP65 T135°C), verified by local and international test laboratories.
We supply three-phase induction motors that meet the highest international energy efficiency standards defined by IEC 60034-30. Our YE3 series matches IE3 (Premium Efficiency), the YE4 series matches IE4 (Super Premium Efficiency), and our latest YE5 series meets the ultra-demanding IE5 (Ultra Premium Efficiency) standard, which helps global operators reduce operational power costs and carbon footprint.
Yes. The YVFE3, YVFE4, and YBBP series are designed specifically for Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) applications. They feature reinforced insulation, corona-resistant winding wire, insulated bearings at the non-drive end to prevent electrical erosion (bearing currents), and independent cooling fans (IC416) that provide adequate heat dissipation even at low running speeds.
