    Motor Size / Capacity

    What size motor do you need?

    💡 Why it affects price: Larger motors = more material, higher output, heavier bearings. This is usually the biggest cost driver.

    Voltage / Phase

    What electrical configuration do you require?

    💡 Why it affects price: Special windings or custom electrical configurations raise manufacturing costs.

    Pole Count (Speed)

    What pole count do you need?

    💡 Why it affects price: More poles require more copper/steel in stator/rotor windings → higher cost.

    Environmental Rating (IP Protection)

    What level of protection do you require?

    💡 Why it affects price: Sealing, gaskets, special housings drive costs up.

    Duty Cycle / Bearings

    What duty cycle do you need?

    💡 Why it affects price: Upgraded bearings and lubricants extend life but cost more.

    Starter / Controls

    Do you need a motor starter or controls included?

    💡 Why it affects price: Controls are separate hardware — some customers supply their own, others need them bundled.

    Accessories

    Would you like to add accessories? (multi-select)

    💡 Why it affects price: Each is an add-on item that increases materials + labor.

    Documentation / Certifications

    Do you require additional documentation or certifications? (multi-select)

    💡 Why it affects price: Compliance documentation adds testing/administration overhead.
