What Are Motor Stators?
Motor stators are the stationary laminated magnetic circuits of brushless DC motors. They are made from thin sheets of electrical steel (silicon steel) that are precision-stamped, stacked, and bonded to form a core with teeth that carry copper windings. When energized by the electronic speed controller (ESC), the windings create a rotating magnetic field that interacts with the rotor's permanent magnets to produce torque.
Why motor stators are critical for UAV performance:
- Magnetic flux concentration – The stator core directs and concentrates magnetic flux for optimal torque and efficiency
- Core loss reduction – Thin laminations (0.15–0.20mm) minimize eddy current and hysteresis losses
- Heat dissipation – The stator core acts as a thermal path to transfer heat away from windings
- Structural support – Provides mechanical support for windings and maintains precise air gap geometry
ⓘ Motor stator insight:"A high-quality motor stator is the single most critical component in a UAV motor. A 10% reduction in core loss can increase flight time by 8–12%."
Reenives manufactures precision motor stators using imported 0.2mm silicon steel, progressive stamping dies, and automated epoxy powder coating—ensuring optimal magnetic performance for demanding UAV, FPV, and eVTOL applications worldwide.

FAQ: Motor Stator Technical Questions
Motor stators are the stationary laminated magnetic circuits of brushless DC motors, made from thin silicon steel sheets that are precision-stamped, stacked, and bonded. They are critical for UAV motor performance because: (1) they concentrate magnetic flux for optimal torque and efficiency, (2) thin laminations minimize eddy current and hysteresis losses, (3) they act as a thermal path to dissipate heat from windings, and (4) they provide structural support for windings and maintain precise air gap geometry.
The optimal lamination thickness depends on the motor's operating frequency. For high-frequency UAV motors (up to 40 kHz PWM), 0.15–0.20mm laminations are optimal. 0.20mm achieves core loss ≤ 8.5 W/kg at 400Hz—approximately 30% lower than conventional 0.35mm material—delivering longer flight times and cooler operation. For FPV racing motors operating at extreme RPM, 0.15mm laminations provide ultimate performance. 0.35mm is suitable for cost-sensitive industrial motors with lower operating frequencies.
12N14P (12-slot stator, 14-pole rotor) is the most common configuration for UAV motor stators, offering a near-perfect winding factor of 0.933 and exceptionally low cogging torque. It is widely used across FPV racing, logistics, agriculture, and eVTOL applications. 9N12P is also popular for FPV racing, while 24N22P is preferred for heavy-lift and logistics UAVs.
Motor stators directly impact UAV flight time through core loss. Lower core loss means less energy wasted as heat and more power available for thrust. Using 0.20mm silicon steel instead of 0.35mm reduces core loss by approximately 30%, which translates to 8–12% longer flight times for the same battery capacity. For a 20-minute flight, this could mean 2–2.5 minutes of additional flight time—a significant advantage for logistics and surveying applications.
Burr height is the raised edge left on stamped metal after the punching process. In UAV motor stators, burr height must be maintained below 0.03mm because excessive burrs can: (1) damage enamel insulation on copper windings during assembly, causing short circuits, (2) create localized magnetic saturation points that reduce efficiency, (3) increase core loss through eddy current concentration, and (4) reduce motor reliability—critical for UAV applications where motor failure means crashing. Reenives maintains burr height < 0.03mm through precision progressive stamping dies.
Epoxy powder coating provides three critical functions for UAV motor stators: (1) electrical insulation between laminations to minimize eddy currents and prevent interlaminar shorts, (2) corrosion resistance for operation in humid environments, outdoor conditions, and agriculture applications where chemicals may be present, and (3) thermal durability up to 180°C (Class H) to withstand the heat generated during high-power drone operation. The coating thickness (30–60µm) is optimized for tight slot geometries common in UAV motors.
Yes. Reenives supports full customization of UAV motor stators including: stator outer diameter (12–80mm), lamination thickness (0.15–0.20mm), slot/pole configurations (9N12P, 12N14P, 24N22P, 36N30P, custom), stacking height, material grade, and epoxy coating specifications.
