can a Hong Kong product be used in Europe

Im thinking about voltage.. is it the same. i hear they have 220v, as do we in Europe.. but Japan has also 220v, but in 2 different ways..so they cant use southern products in the north or so.. anyone know about this?

A different size pulley or a frequency adjustable power supply such as VPI's will fix it.
