Frequently Asked Questions

How To Find The Right Capacitor

Finding the right motor capacitor is relatively easy when you know what to look for. There are four main ways to identify the right capacitor for you.

1. The “uf” or “mfd” rating: This is the power of the capacitor and should be matched as closely as possible. This information can be found on the capacitor itself. Some capacitors have a range, while others have a specific amount.

2. The “VAC” rating: This is an insulation rating and should be matched as closely as possible as well. However, you can go to a higher VAC rating and still be ok, as long as the capacitor still fits dimensionally. Going up from a 250 VAC to a 450 VAC, at the same uf or mfd rating, usually just means it has thicker insulation and can be an upgrade to the original. However, it is not recommended to go down in VAC unless customer approves. Quite often we see a 120 volt motor come in with a 450 VAC capacitor and even though a 125 to 440 VAC will work just fine, it is best to get the customers’ approval if a 450 is not available.

3. Body Style: We have capacitors that are round, oval, rectangular, with terminals, with wires, with a mounting bolt, and more. Make sure to match the body style to the sample or photo supplied.

4. Body Dimensions: It’s no good if we match a capacitor with “uf” or “mfd”, VAC rating, and Style, but it doesn’t fit dimensionally for some reason. Many applications have specific shells they must fit into, and others have no size restrictions. Our website has each capacitors body dimensions. Click “More Info” on the selected capacitor and check the table for the dimensions.

These are the 4 most common ways of identifying sample and photos of the capacitor. Fortunately we can get just about all the information we need from the capacitor itself from the information printed on the capacitor, the visual body style and physical dimensions.

Plus Comm.

With many armature rewinds, the commutator is an extra charge if a replacement comm. is needed. When the price reads "+ comm." it means there will be an additional charge when a commutator is required.

Quantity Discounts

Yes, quantity discounts are available. If you have several of one type of rewind, let us know and we’ll do our best to get you a better price. Depending on the rewind, your savings can range from a small amount to a substantial savings.

Turn Around Time

Eurton Electric strives for on-time delivery for all winding and repair services.  We offer Regular Service 7-10 business days, approx, Overtime 3-4 business days, Super Overtime 24-48 hours.

I Have Something Not Listed

Every month we rewind hundreds of armatures, motors, stators, etc. for which we have no idea of their manufacturer, application, rpm, voltage, etc.

If you have an armature, field coil, motor, stator, or anything that requires winding, get it to Eurton and we’ll take care of the rest!

Estimating & Quoting

Most motor components (armatures, field coils, stators…) and small, easy to evaluate motors are given a no charge/free estimate.  However, more complicated, large or beyond normal, time consuming motors or components may require an estimating fee or tooling charge.  In these cases, we will notify you with this information and wait for your approval before proceeding.

Additionally please note that when you receive a free estimate and decline to have the work performed, your motor will be returned disassembled. Should you require your motor to be assembled, we must impose a labor charge - amount to be determined by the size and difficulty of your motor.

Prices Listed Are Only A Guide

The prices listed are a guide only. Sure 95% of the rewinds may fall between the prices listed, but there are always exceptions. Your best bet is to send your rewind with a note that reads, "call if over ($ catalog price)". This way we can call and let you know if the price will exceed the price listed on the note.
