Stator Laminations: Precision Silicon Steel Cores for UAV, Drone & High-Performance BLDC Motors
1. What are Stator Laminations? (The Building Blocks of Every BLDC Stator Core)
Stator laminations are thin, precision-stamped sheets of electrical steel that are stacked and bonded to form the stationary core of a brushless DC motor. Each lamination is electrically insulated from its neighbors—typically by a varnish or epoxy coating—to block eddy currents that would otherwise circulate within the core and generate heat. The thinner the lamination, the lower the eddy current loss; however, thinner sheets also reduce the stacking factor (the ratio of actual steel volume to total stack volume) and increase manufacturing costs.
Reenives manufactures high-quality stator laminations using non-grain oriented silicon steel (0.20mm/0.35mm) with advanced C5 epoxy powder coating — achieving core loss ≤11.8 W/kg @400Hz/1.0T and stacking factor ≥97%.
2. Stator Lamination Classifications
Reenives offers stator laminations in multiple configurations to meet diverse application requirements:
- 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 UAV/FPV), 0.27mm, 0.35mm (general industrial). The industry trend toward thinner laminations (0.25mm and below) improves high-frequency efficiency but complicates interlocking assembly.
- By Insulation Coating: C5 epoxy powder coating (Class H, 180°C) with >1800V dielectric strength; C3 organic varnish for cost-sensitive applications.
- By Stacking Method: Interlocking (≥0.25mm thickness only), laser welding, or epoxy bonding for ultra-thin laminations below 0.25mm.
💡 Reenives specialty: private mould development for custom stator lamination geometries — from OD 18mm to 210mm, with custom slot profiles and skew designs to reduce cogging torque.

4. Applications – UAV, FPV & Industrial BLDC Motors
Reenives stator laminations power critical applications across multiple sectors:
- FPV Racing & Cinematic Drones: 2207, 2306, 2507 stator laminations with 92%+ peak efficiency at 45,000 RPM. Silicon steel stator sheets (0.2mm thickness) are standard for high-performance UAV motors rated up to 10,000W.
- Commercial UAVs & eVTOL: 12N14P / 18N20P laminations for 15-30kg payload with extended flight endurance.
- Agricultural Spraying Drones: High-torque laminations with C5 epoxy coating offering 500h+ salt spray resistance.
- Industrial BLDC Actuators & Servos: Precision laminations for cogging-free torque in robotics and automation.
- E-mobility & E-bike Hub Motors: Compact stator laminations for 100W-3kW auxiliary drives.
5. 5-Step Engineering Selection Guide for Stator Laminations
- Define motor outer diameter and stack height: Based on torque and power targets (e.g., 28mm OD for 5-inch FPV drone).
- Choose lamination material thickness: 0.20mm for high-frequency UAV (40-80kHz PWM) / 0.35mm for robust industrial motors. Consider that ultra-thin laminations (<0.25mm) cannot use interlocking stacking and require adhesive bonding.
- Select slot/pole combination: 9N12P for high RPM, 12N14P for balanced torque/speed, 18N20P for high torque density.
- Specify insulation and stacking method: C5 epoxy coating for outdoor UAVs; interlocking for 0.25mm+ laminations; epoxy bonding for sub-0.25mm designs.
- Request samples and validation: Reenives delivers first-article inspection reports (FAI) and material certificates. Prototype lamination samples ready in 7-10 days after design approval.

6. FAQ – Critical Stator Lamination Technical Pain Points
For high-speed FPV motors operating above 40,000 RPM, Reenives recommends 0.20mm silicon steel (20WTG1300 grade). This thickness minimizes eddy current loss (≤11.8 W/kg @400Hz/1.0T) while maintaining a stacking factor ≥97%.
Stacking factor decreases as lamination thickness decreases because more of the stack volume is taken up by insulation varnish between layers. Additionally, laminations below 0.25mm cannot use interlocking assembly and must be bonded with adhesive, increasing production costs and lead time. Reenives offers both interlocking (0.27mm+) and epoxy-bonded (0.20mm) stacking options.
Our C5 epoxy powder coating provides a uniform 40-100μm insulating layer with >1800V dielectric strength, preventing inter-lamination shorts and moisture ingress. Passes 500h salt spray test (ASTM B117) — critical for agricultural and maritime drone reliability.
