Motor Stacks: Precision Laminated Cores for FPV, UAV & High-Performance Drone Motors
1. What are Motor Stacks? (The Laminated Core Foundation of Every Drone Motor)
Motor stacks (also called lamination stacks or stator/rotor stacks) are precision-assembled bundles of thin silicon steel laminations that form the magnetic core of a brushless DC motor. The stack consists of stamped laminations stacked to a specific height and bonded or interlocked to maintain structural integrity. In drone motors, the quality of the motor stack directly determines magnetic flux density, eddy current losses, and thermal behavior . Reenives manufactures high-quality motor stacks using non-grain oriented electrical steel with advanced epoxy powder coating — achieving stacking factor ≥98.2% and reducing eddy current losses by up to 38% compared to conventional laminations .
2. Motor Stack Classifications
Reenives offers motor stacks in multiple configurations to meet diverse application requirements :
- By Stack Type: Stator stacks, rotor stacks, and matched stator-rotor sets.
- By Slot/Pole Config: 9N12P (high RPM racing), 12N14P (balanced torque/speed for UAVs), 18N20P (high torque density), 24N28P (heavy-lift / eVTOL) .
- By Material Thickness: 0.20mm (high-frequency FPV/UAV), 0.27mm, and 0.35mm (general industrial).
- By Stacking Method: Interlocking self-bonding (most common for FPV), laser welding, or epoxy bonding .
- By Insulation Coating: C5 epoxy powder coating (Class H, 180°C–200°C) with ≥1800V dielectric strength .
💡 Reenives specialty: private mould development for any custom motor stack geometry — including skew designs that reduce cogging torque by 30-50% for smoother drone operation .

4. Applications – FPV, UAV & Industrial BLDC Motors
Reenives motor stacks power critical applications across multiple sectors :
- FPV Racing & Cinematic Drones: 2207, 2306, 2507 motor stacks with instant throttle response and 92% peak efficiency at 45,000 RPM .
- Commercial UAVs & eVTOL: 12N14P / 18N20P motor stacks for 15-30kg payload with extended flight endurance.
- Agricultural Spraying Drones: High-torque motor stacks with C5 epoxy coating offering 500h+ salt spray resistance .
- Industrial BLDC Actuators: Robotic arms, servo drives, and gimbal motors requiring ultra-smooth torque (<1% cogging ripple).
- Delivery & Logistics Drones: Heavy-lift octocopters with optimized thermal dissipation .
5. 5-Step Engineering Selection Guide for Motor Stacks
- Define motor outer diameter and stack height: Based on thrust and power targets (e.g., 28mm OD for 5-inch FPV drone).
- Choose lamination material thickness: 0.15mm for ultra-racing >50,000 RPM; 0.20mm for standard FPV/UAV (40-80kHz PWM); 0.35mm for robust industrial motors .
- Select slot/pole combination: 9N12P for high RPM racing, 12N14P for balanced torque/speed (most common for UAVs), 18N20P for high torque density heavy-lift .
- Specify stacking method and insulation: Interlocking for high-volume production; epoxy bonding for lowest eddy loss; C5 epoxy coating for outdoor UAVs .
- Request samples and validation: Reenives delivers first-article inspection reports (FAI) and material certificates. Prototype samples ready in 7-10 days after design approval .

6. FAQ – Critical Motor Stack Technical Pain Points
Reenives recommends 0.20mm silicon steel (20WTG1300) for motor stacks operating above 30,000 RPM. Test data confirms 8.9 W/kg core loss @400Hz/1.0T — reducing eddy current loss by 30-35% compared to 0.35mm laminations .
We guarantee stacking factor ≥ 98.2% for interlocked stacks and ≥98.6% for epoxy-bonded stacks. This directly increases magnetic flux density by ~6% compared to 96% stacking factor, improving torque density and motor efficiency .
Our C5 epoxy coating (40±5μm thickness) provides >1800V dielectric strength and thermal conductivity >0.85 W/m·K — 2x higher than standard C3 coatings. This reduces inter-lamination hotspot temperatures by 12-15°C during sustained hovering and passes 500h salt spray test per ASTM B117 .
