Lamination Stack — Precision Stacked Cores for Drone & BLDC Motors | Reenives Stator Core Supplier
⚠️Is your lamination stack suffering from loose layers, high core loss, or poor stacking factor? Weak interlocking, inconsistent lamination thickness, burrs, or air gaps between layers can reduce motor efficiency, cause overheating, and lead to vibration — especially in high-RPM drone motors.
✅Reenives builds precision lamination stacks engineered for high-performance brushless motors. With imported high-speed stamping lines, epoxy powder coating, and dust-free workshops, we deliver stacks with low core loss, tight tolerances, and consistent stacking pressure. As a leading drone motor lamination stack supplier in China, we help 1000+ enterprises improve motor reliability.

What Is a Lamination Stack?
Alamination stack is the assembled core of a motor — formed by stacking multiple thin electrical steel laminations together and securing them by interlocking, bonding, welding, or clamping. The stack forms the stator or rotor core, providing a low-reluctance magnetic path while limiting eddy current losses through layer separation.
In drone motors, the lamination stack is the structural and electromagnetic backbone of the motor. Its stacking quality, material grade, and dimensional accuracy directly affect:
- Core loss & motor efficiency
- Stacking factor & flux density
- Mechanical rigidity & vibration resistance
- Heat dissipation & thermal stability
A well-built lamination stack minimizes air gaps, reduces losses, and maintains consistent performance across the entire RPM range.
Precision lamination stack — manufactured by Reenives with imported high-speed stamping & epoxy powder coating lines.
Types of Lamination Stacks
Lamination stacks are assembled using different methods depending on motor design, cost, and performance requirements. Reenives manufactures the following types:
- Interlocked Lamination Stacks — Laminations with integral dimples or dovetails that lock together under pressure. Cost-effective, no adhesive required.
- Bonded Lamination Stacks — Laminations coated with adhesive and cured under heat and pressure. Lower eddy current losses and better damping.
- Welded Lamination Stacks — Laminations welded along the outer diameter. High mechanical strength for high-vibration applications.
- Clamped Lamination Stacks — Laminations held together with end plates and bolts or rivets. Allows for easy disassembly and repair.
- Segmented Lamination Stacks — Individual teeth wound separately and assembled into a full ring. Higher slot fill factor.
- Epoxy-Coated Lamination Stacks — Individual laminations coated with epoxy powder before stacking for superior insulation and corrosion resistance.
Whether you need standard interlocked stacks or custom bonded assemblies, Reenives can deliver.

Applications of Lamination Stacks
Reenives lamination stacks are used across a wide range of drone and brushless motor applications:
- FPV Racing Drones — High RPM, lightweight stacks with low cogging torque.
- Cinematic & Photography Drones — Smooth, vibration-free stacks for stable aerial footage.
- Agricultural Spraying Drones — Corrosion-resistant epoxy-coated stacks for harsh chemical environments.
- Industrial Inspection Drones — High-torque stacks for long endurance and heavy payloads.
- eVTOL & UAV Propulsion — Custom high-power stacks for next-generation air mobility.
- General BLDC Motors — Fans, pumps, robotics, power tools, and automotive actuators.
Reenives lamination stacks power FPV, agricultural, cinematic, and industrial UAVs worldwide.
How to Select the Right Lamination Stack
Choosing the correct lamination stack for your motor involves several engineering decisions. Follow these steps:
- Determine Required Torque & RPM — Higher torque needs more stack length or larger diameter. High RPM demands thinner laminations and low-loss material.
- Select Slot/Pole Combination — Common drone motors use 12S/14P or 9S/6P. This affects cogging torque, winding factor, and efficiency.
- Choose Lamination Thickness — For high-frequency operation (e.g., 400Hz+), use 0.20 mm laminations to reduce eddy current losses.
- Select Material Grade — Lower-loss silicon steel grades (e.g., 35WW250) reduce heat but cost more. Balance performance and budget.
- Decide on Assembly Method — Interlocked stacks are economical; bonded or welded stacks offer better performance and rigidity.
- Consider Insulation & Coating — Epoxy powder coating is recommended for moisture, vibration, and chemical resistance.
- Verify Tolerances & Stacking Factor — Tight tolerances and high stacking factor ensure proper magnetic performance and reduce vibration.
- Request Samples & Test — Reenives provides free samples for qualified projects. Test core loss, temperature rise, and mechanical fit.
FAQ — Lamination Stack Parameters
Q1: What lamination thickness do you recommend for high-RPM drone motors?
A: For high-RPM drone motors (above 10,000 RPM), we recommend 0.20 mm or 0.25 mm silicon steel laminations. 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.

Q2: What is the typical core loss of your lamination stacks?
A: Our standard lamination stacks using 35WW250 silicon steel typically exhibit core loss ≤ 25 W/kg at 400Hz and 1 Tesla. With premium low-loss materials, we can achieve even lower values. Actual core loss depends on lamination thickness, material grade, and operating frequency.

Q3: Do you offer epoxy powder coating for lamination stacks?
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, enhances wire adhesion, and protects against moisture — critical for agricultural and marine drones.

Q4: What is the stacking factor and dimensional tolerance of your lamination stacks?
A: Our lamination stacks achieve a stacking factor of ≥ 95%, minimizing air gaps between layers. For critical dimensions such as inner diameter, outer diameter, and stack length, we maintain tolerances of ±0.05 mm. Tighter tolerances can be achieved upon request with our high-precision stamping lines.
