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.
- 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.

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 — a 25% improvement over conventional BLDC motors — with peak power exceeding 13 kW for a single motor .
High-frequency PWM (fast rise times) creates voltage stress concentration in hairpin windings, potentially causing partial discharge and premature insulation failure. IEEE research recommends careful insulation design for aviation motors . 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. Studies show continuous hairpin winding (CHW) can reduce AC loss through optimized conductor placement and open-slot designs .
