Reenives: Global Leading Hairpin Stator Supplier
Hairpin Stator: Next-Generation Winding Technology for UAV, EV & High-Performance BLDC Motors
1. What is a Hairpin Stator? (The High-Power-Density Winding Architecture)
A hairpin stator uses pre-formed rectangular copper conductors (hairpin-shaped) inserted into stator slots and welded at the ends, replacing traditional round-wire windings. This design achieves higher copper fill factor (≥92%), better thermal dissipation, and significantly improved power density — making it the preferred choice for UAV propulsion and EV traction motors.
Reenives manufactures precision hairpin stators with 0.20mm silicon steel laminations and C5 epoxy coating — achieving stacking factor ≥98.2% and supporting high-frequency PWM operation up to 80kHz.
2. Hairpin Stator Classifications
Reenives offers hairpin stators in multiple configurations to meet diverse application requirements:
- By Winding Type: Concentrated hairpin winding (high torque density), distributed hairpin winding (smooth operation), and continuous hairpin (no welding joints).
- By Slot/Pole Config: 12N10P, 12N14P (UAV), 24N20P, 48N40P (EV traction).
- By Conductor Layer Count: 2-layer, 4-layer, 6-layer, 8-layer, up to 16-layer for extreme power density.
- By Insulation System: C3 (standard), C5 epoxy coating (Class H, 200°C), and oil-cooled compatible variants.
💡 Reenives specialty: private mould development for custom hairpin stator geometries — including Halbach array configurations for UAV applications achieving 25 Nm/kg torque density.

4. Applications – UAV, EV & Industrial BLDC Motors
Reenives hairpin stators power critical applications across multiple sectors:
- Commercial UAVs & eVTOL: Hairpin stators achieve +20% flight time over conventional BLDC motors — 76.5kg thrust per shaft for 10-100kg payload drones.
- Electric Vehicle Traction Motors: 48V–800V hairpin stators for e-bikes, e-scooters, passenger EVs, and next-generation 16-layer winding designs.
- Agricultural Spraying Drones: Dust/water-resistant C5 epoxy coating with 500h salt spray resistance.
- Electric Aircraft Propulsion: High-power-density hairpin windings for aviation propulsion systems under high-frequency PWM drive conditions.
- Industrial BLDC Actuators: Robotic arms, servo drives, and medical equipment.
5. 5-Step Engineering Selection Guide for Hairpin Stators
- Define power and voltage targets: Determine peak power (e.g., 12.5kW UAV motor), voltage (48V–800V), and base speed.
- Choose lamination material thickness: 0.20mm for high-frequency operation (40-80kHz PWM) to minimize core loss.
- Select slot/pole and layer count: 12N14P for UAV/eVTOL; 24N20P+ for EV traction. Higher layer count (8-16 layers) reduces AC losses but increases manufacturing complexity.
- Specify insulation and cooling: C5 epoxy coating for outdoor UAVs; oil-compatible insulation for EV applications.
- Request samples and validation: Reenives delivers hairpin stator samples with FAI reports and insulation test certifications. Prototype samples ready in 7-10 days.

6. FAQ – Critical Hairpin Stator Technical Pain Points
TECO's validated UAV hairpin motor system achieves 91.8% peak efficiency and extends drone flight time by approximately 20% over conventional BLDC motors. Hairpin stators also reduce copper loss through higher fill factor and improved thermal dissipation.
Hairpin stators combined with Halbach magnet array rotor designs achieve 25 Nm/kg torque density — with peak power exceeding 13 kW for a single motor. The mass-produced OD128 medium-size UAV powertrain uses an outer-rotor hairpin winding with Halbach magnet arrangement.
High-frequency PWM (fast rise times) creates voltage stress concentration in hairpin windings, potentially causing partial discharge and premature insulation failure. IEEE research shows that the shorter the impulse rise time, the more uneven the voltage distribution at the front end of the winding, making it extremely easy to form concentrated voltage stress. Reenives uses C5 epoxy coating with >1800V dielectric strength to mitigate this risk.
Skin and proximity effects increase AC resistance at high frequencies. Higher layer count (8-16 layers) helps mitigate these losses. Continuous hairpin winding (CHW) can reduce AC loss through optimized conductor placement and open-slot designs.
