Belgium stands as a critical industrial logistics hub in Europe, dominated by the Antwerp chemical cluster, the manufacturing and metallurgical strongholds of Wallonia, and the maritime shipping hubs at Ghent and Zeebrugge. Operating these complex facilities requires highly specialized electrical drivetrains. The transition to sustainable energy and the mandate to minimize transmission losses have elevated the importance of High Voltage (HV) induction and synchronous motors operating at 6kV and 10kV.
Heavy duty operations, including maritime gas compressors, industrial water pumps, large-scale aeration fans, and mine winders, require motors that deliver consistent torque, high efficiency, and maximum uptime. Our high-voltage solutions provide the technological response to these challenges, aligning with EU eco-design directives while mitigating operational risks associated with heavy start-up loads and voltage fluctuations.

SIMO designs customized electrical machinery to meet the power requirements of standard and challenging environments.
Comprising the YX, YXKK, and YXKS series, these high-voltage, high-efficiency three-phase asynchronous motors are engineered to reduce energy loss. They leverage aerodynamic designs and optimized ventilation structures to support continuous duty (S1) under standard or demanding environmental loads.
The YR, YRKK, and YRKS series are designed for applications requiring high starting torque under limited starting currents. These slip-ring motors allow external resistance configuration in the rotor circuit, offering reliable starting performance for heavy ball mills, conveyor belts, and shredders.
The YBX3, YBX4, and YBX5 series represent flameproof low-voltage and high-voltage motors, along with dust explosion-proof models (YFB3, YFB4). They comply with EU ATEX directives for hazardous zones (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, and Zone 22) in gas, chemical, and coal dust environments.
For complex processes, we offer large-scale Synchronous Motors (T, TD, TK, TDMK series) and robust DC Motors (Z2, Z4, Z series) to meet precise speed adjustment, constant tension, or low-speed, high-torque direct-drive requirements.
Consult Our Engineering TeamAligning motor designs with the operating conditions of Antwerp, Wallonia, and Ghent maritime industrial ecosystems.
Operating in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges requires compliance with ATEX directives due to explosive gas risks. Our YBX5 and YFB4 series explosion-proof high-voltage motors feature flameproof enclosures designed to contain internal explosions and prevent spark propagation, securing operations for chemical pumps, air-coolers, and process gas compressors.
Continuous marine operations subject machinery to high humidity, saline corrosion, and variable load shocks. SIMO's wound rotor high voltage motors (YRKK series) deliver high starting torque to handle heavy cargo cranes, dry bulk conveyors, and dredging pumps in Ghent and Zeebrugge ports, with slip rings engineered for minimal maintenance.
Steelmaking and metal processing require heavy-duty performance under intense heat and dust. Our water-cooled YXKS series high-voltage motors operate with high heat transfer efficiency using IC81W systems, keeping the motor core cool while protecting windings from fine iron dust and thermal stress.
Municipal water treatment and power generation demand long operational lifetimes. SIMO's Y2 series and ultra-premium efficiency YE5 series motors provide high mechanical efficiency under continuous S1 duty, helping Belgian municipalities lower carbon footprints and total cost of ownership.
The lifespan of a high-voltage motor depends on its design, component selection, and manufacturing process. SIMO employs a multi-step quality control system to ensure every motor meets our reliability standards:
We use mica tape insulation systems paired with class F or H resins. Stators undergo Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI), which removes moisture and air pockets to form a solid, moisture-resistant barrier that protects against corona discharge and electrical breakdowns.
Heavy duty rotors are dynamically balanced using digital sensors to eliminate harmonic vibrations. This precision reduces shaft deflection and minimizes stress on the bearings, ensuring quiet and steady operation.
Variable frequency drive (VFD) applications can generate high shaft voltages, which can damage bearings. We install insulated non-drive end bearings and hybrid ceramic balls to divert parasitic currents and prevent premature bearing wear.
Every motor undergoes testing at our facility, including winding resistance, vibration checks, surge tests, and sound level validation before shipping.
SIMO motors comply with EU, US, and international regulatory standards, ensuring seamless integration into Belgian industrial networks.
Find answers to common questions about selecting, operating, and maintaining high-voltage motors in European industrial environments.
These designations relate to the motor's cooling methods and rotor structures:
YKK: Features a closed squirrel-cage rotor with air-to-air cooling (IC611). It is suited for outdoor or dusty industrial environments.
YKS: Features a closed squirrel-cage rotor with water-to-air cooling (IC81W). It is designed for confined spaces or high-temperature areas.
YRKK: A wound rotor (slip ring) motor featuring air-to-air cooling (IC611). It is selected for high-inertia start-up loads that require low starting currents.
SIMO designs explosion-proof motors (such as the YBX3, YBX4, YBX5, YFB3, and YFB4 series) to meet ATEX standards for gas (Zones 1 and 2) and dust (Zones 21 and 22). Our motors utilize flameproof enclosures, non-sparking terminal boxes, and heat-resistant seals to ensure safe operation in hazardous environments like petrochemical plants.
We supply high-voltage motors designed for standard European three-phase grids. While 6kV and 10kV configurations at 50Hz are standard, we can customize winding configurations for non-standard voltages or frequencies to fit your facility's requirements.
For high-voltage and VFD-driven motors, shaft currents can damage standard metal bearings. We use insulated bearings from manufacturers like SKF and FAG on the non-drive end, or design a shaft grounding system to divert currents away from the rollers, preventing electrical pitting and extending bearing life.
Our Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) process places the wound stator in a vacuum chamber to remove air and moisture. The chamber is then pressurized with Class F or H epoxy resins to seal the windings. This process improves the stator's resistance to moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress, protecting against corona discharge.
