What Is Rotor Lamination Stacking?
Rotor lamination stacking is the process of assembling multiple stamped electrical steel laminations into a complete rotor core — and the same principles apply to stator cores. The laminations are stacked to the required length and secured by interlocking, bonding, welding, or clamping. Each lamination is coated with a thin insulation layer to limit eddy currents between layers.
In UAV brushless motors, rotor and stator lamination stacking quality directly determines:
- Stacking factor & magnetic flux density
- Core loss & motor efficiency
- Mechanical rigidity & vibration resistance
- Rotor balance & bearing life
Incorrect stacking pressure, misaligned interlocks, or excessive air gaps increase reluctance and core loss, reducing motor efficiency. For high-RPM UAV motors, precision stacking is essential to maintain rotor balance and minimize vibration.
Precision rotor lamination stacking — manufactured by Reenives with imported high-speed stamping & epoxy powder coating lines.
Types of Rotor & Stator Lamination Stacking
Lamination stacking can be performed using several methods, each suited to different motor designs, performance requirements, and cost targets. Reenives offers the following:
- Interlocked Stacking — Laminations with integral dimples or dovetails that lock together under pressure. Cost-effective, no adhesive required. Common for high-volume UAV motor production.
- Bonded Stacking — Laminations coated with adhesive and cured under heat and pressure. Lower eddy current losses, better damping, and reduced vibration.
- Welded Stacking — Laminations welded along the outer diameter. High mechanical strength for high-vibration applications.
- Clamped Stacking — Laminations held together with end plates and bolts or rivets. Allows for easy disassembly and repair.
- Segmented Stacking — Individual teeth stacked and wound separately, then assembled into a full ring. Higher slot fill factor.
- Epoxy-Coated Stacking — Individual laminations coated with epoxy powder before stacking for superior insulation and corrosion resistance.
- Rotor Stacking with Magnet Pockets — Rotor laminations stacked with interior magnet slots for IPM designs.
- Custom Stacking — Private mould development for unique stack lengths, diameters, and assembly methods.
Whether you need high-volume interlocked stacking or low-volume bonded assembly, Reenives can supply the right solution.

How to Select the Right Rotor Lamination Stacking Process
Choosing the right stacking process for your UAV motor rotor and stator involves several engineering decisions. Follow these steps:
- Determine Motor Type & Application — Outrunner or inrunner? High RPM or high torque? The stacking method affects rotor balance and rigidity.
- Determine Required Torque & RPM — Higher torque needs more stack length. High RPM demands thinner laminations and precise stacking to maintain balance.
- Select Slot/Pole Combination — Common UAV motors use 12S/14P or 9S/6P. This must be matched between stator and rotor.
- Choose Lamination Thickness — For high-frequency operation (e.g., 400Hz+), use 0.20 mm laminations to reduce eddy current losses.
- Select Stacking Method — Interlocked for cost-effectiveness; bonded or welded for lower losses and higher rigidity.
- Control Stacking Pressure — Consistent stacking pressure ensures high stacking factor and minimizes air gaps.
- Consider Insulation & Coating — Epoxy powder coating is recommended for moisture, vibration, and chemical resistance.
- Request Samples & Test — Reenives provides free samples for qualified projects. Test core loss, stacking factor, vibration, and mechanical fit.
FAQ — Lamination Stacking Parameters
Q1: What is the difference between interlocked stacking and bonded stacking?
A: Interlocked stacking uses mechanical features (dimples or dovetails) stamped into the laminations to lock them together under pressure. It is cost-effective and requires no adhesive. Bonded stacking uses adhesive between layers, cured under heat and pressure. Bonded stacks offer lower eddy current losses (no interlocking burrs), better damping, and reduced vibration — a key advantage for high-RPM UAV motors and low-NVH applications like EPS motors.

Q2: What stacking factor can you achieve with your lamination stacking process?
A: Our interlocked stacking process typically achieves a stacking factor of ≥ 95%, while our bonded stacking process achieves ≥ 96%. A higher stacking factor means fewer air gaps between laminations, resulting in lower magnetic reluctance, higher flux density, and lower core loss. The stacking factor is verified during production using controlled stacking pressure and dimensional inspection.

Q3: What lamination thickness do you recommend for high-RPM UAV motors?
A: For high-RPM UAV motors (above 10,000 RPM), we recommend 0.20 mm or 0.25 mm silicon steel laminations for both rotor and stator. Thinner laminations significantly reduce eddy current losses, which helps keep the motor cool and improves efficiency. For lower RPM applications, 0.35 mm or 0.50 mm can be more cost-effective.

Q4: How does stacking quality affect rotor balance and vibration?
A: Stacking quality directly affects rotor balance. Uneven stacking pressure, misaligned interlocks, or inconsistent lamination thickness can create density variations around the rotor circumference, leading to imbalance and vibration at high RPM. Our controlled stacking process and tight thickness tolerances (±0.01 mm) ensure uniform density and minimal imbalance, which is critical for high-RPM UAV motors where vibration can cause bearing wear and reduce flight stability.

Q5: Do you offer epoxy powder coating for stacked rotor and stator cores?
A: Yes. We use imported epoxy powder coating equipment to apply a uniform, pinhole-free insulation layer on individual laminations before stacking. This coating improves corrosion resistance and protects against moisture — critical for agricultural and marine drones. For bonded stacks, we can also apply adhesive bonding instead of interlocking to further reduce eddy current losses.

Q6: Can you develop custom stacked rotor and stator cores for my specific UAV motor?
A: Absolutely. We support private mould development. Provide us with your required rotor outer diameter, stator bore, stack length, slot/pole combination, lamination thickness, and stacking method. Our R&D team will design and produce a matched stacked rotor and stator pair tailored to your motor. Tooling lead time is typically 15–25 days.
