New motor prices are provided to help you make "repair versus replace" decisions.  We display a "list" price and an average "user" selling price. The list price is the industry-standard list price used by many manufacturers over the years for NEMA motors manufactured in the USA.  The user price is the average price the shop would charge a customer for a new motor.

The new motor prices shown are averages and do not represent all manufacturers' prices, or prices for motors manufactured abroad and imported into the USA.  However, they should provide reasonable estimating figures in most cases.  Consult a manufacturer if you require a more accurate price.

Simply follow these steps:

1. From the drop down box, select the class of the motor you will be repairing.  Class is Vaughen’s way of classifying motors by basic descriptions.  After you have selected the class, click the Next Step button.
2. Select the HP, RPM, Motor Type, Price Type using the drop down boxes.  Click on the Next Step button.
3. The standard NEMA frame will automatically fill in.  If this frame is not correct select the frame of the motor you are repairing.  First check the Select Frame drop down box.  If the frame does not appear here, then enter the frame in the Enter Frame field.  Click the Next Step button.
4. Click on the select box in front of the workcodes you will be performing.  Click on the Next Step button.
5. On the pricing screen, review the Vaughen’s and Shop's Price Lookup section.  Make any necessary changes to the workcode descriptions, quantities, or shop’s prices.  If you need to enter another workcode that is in Vaughen’s database, use the Add Additional Vaughen's Workcodes button.  If you would like to add a workcode that is not in Vaughen’s database, use the Add Your Own Workcode button.  Be sure to hit the Recalc button if you make any changes.  Note: Only fields in white can be changed.
6. On the pricing screen, review the Labor and Material Price Calculator section.  Make any necessary changes to the hours, or labor information.  Enter your material cost and make any necessary changes to the material markup % or material price.  Be sure to hit the Recalc button if you make any changes.  Note: Only fields in white can be changed.
7. On the pricing screen, review the New Motor Price Calculator section.
8. On the pricing screen, review the Final Selling Price section.  Click the Use Shop’s Price button or Use L&M Price button, depending on which price you wish to use.  Be sure to hit the Recalc button if you make any changes.

To add your Customer information to the quote click on the Select A Customer button.  The customer screen will display allowing you to select a previously saved customer from the drop down box or enter information for a new customer.  Select the Return to Quote with Customer button to update your quote with your customer information.
10. Select the Save Motor Quote button to save your quote.
11. Now you are ready to print or email your quote.  Simply click on the appropriate button.

To look up generator pricing you need to convert the KW to HP.  For AC Generators multiply the KW by 1.33 to determine the equivalent HP.  For DC Generators multiply the KW by 1.25 to determine the equivalent HP.  Once you have determined the HP, select the closest HP rating from the drop down box, and then select Generator as the Motor Type.  Continue to create your quote using your normal procedures.

The price is blank because of the additional charge required for high thrust bearings used in Vertical Motors.  You can fill in the appropriate price or you may want to use the Vaughen's workcode - 2100 High thrust bearings - furnish & install.

Select the RPM that is closest to the motor’s actual RPM.

Select the description that is closest to the motor’s actual specification.

This is Vaughen’s method of classifying different pricing levels.

First select the Add Additional Vaughen's Workcodes button and see if the workcode you would like to add is listed in the Select Workcode box.  To select a workcode from Vaughen's list of workcodes simply click on the workcode and then select the Add to Quote button.  If you would like to add more than one workcode hold down the Control key while selecting your workcodes.  If the workcode you would like to add is not in the Select Workcode box select the Cancel button and select the Add Your Own Workcode button on the pricing screen.  A blank row will be added to the bottom of your quote.  Type in your workcode information.  Be sure to select Recalc after you have added any additional workcodes.

The workcode that is titled "Recondition - NEMA frame motor" displays a national average price by frame that we survey for each year.  The workcode that is title "Recondition - ODP NEMA frame motor" displays a national average price by frame that we survey for each year and can be used if the market will not bear the "Recondition - NEMA frame motor" price.  The workcode that is titled "Recondition" is based on a percentage of the rewind price.
