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 motor 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 BLDC motor. A 10% reduction in core loss can increase motor efficiency by 5–8%."
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 industrial 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 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 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.
Burr height is the raised edge left on stamped metal after the punching process. In 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. Reenives maintains burr height < 0.03mm through precision progressive stamping dies.
The motor stator is the stationary component that generates the rotating magnetic field through its windings. The rotor is the rotating component that carries permanent magnets and follows the stator's magnetic field to produce torque. In a BLDC motor, the stator is typically the outer component (in outrunner motors) or the inner component (in inrunner motors). Both work together to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion.
Epoxy powder coating provides three critical functions for motor stators: (1) electrical insulation between laminations to minimize eddy currents and prevent interlaminar shorts, (2) corrosion resistance for operation in humid, outdoor, or demanding environments, and (3) thermal durability up to 180°C (Class H) to withstand heat generated during motor operation. The coating thickness (30–60µm) is optimized for tight slot geometries with dielectric strength exceeding 2.5 kV.
Reenives supports a wide range of slot/pole configurations for motor stators including: 9N12P (most common for FPV and racing motors), 12N14P (near-perfect winding factor—most popular for UAVs), 24N22P (heavy-lift and logistics), 36N30P (eVTOL and extreme power), and custom configurations for specialized applications. Private mould development is available for high-volume OEM projects with exclusive design rights.
