General-purpose electric motors are standard asynchronous motors used across a wide range of applications such as pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors and benches. The biggest misconception when looking for a price list is to assume motors have a single price; in fact the price varies with the motor's technical specification. DRG Motor offers up-to-date, transparent pricing through a proper quotation.

What Determines the Price

A general-purpose motor's price is set primarily by its power (0.55–355 kW); as power rises, material and labour rise with it. Beyond that, speed (pole count), efficiency class (IE2, IE3, IE4) and frame material directly affect the price. A cast iron frame, being more durable than aluminium, sits in a different price tier.

How Efficiency Class Affects Cost

IE3 and IE4 motors may cost a little more at purchase than IE2, but on continuously running lines that difference is recovered over time thanks to lower energy losses. So when weighing price, you should account not only for the nameplate cost but also for the energy the motor will consume over its life.

Mounting and Protection Options

Mounting types such as B3 foot, B5 flange and B14 face, along with features like IP55 protection and Class F insulation, shape the motor's configuration and therefore its price. Two motors of the same power can fall into different tiers with different mounting and frame options.
