What Is Stator Stamping?
Stator stamping is the precision manufacturing process of punching thin electrical steel sheets into the laminations that form the stator cores of electric motors, generators, and alternators. These stamped laminations are the essential magnetic circuits that enable electromagnetic energy conversion—converting electrical energy into mechanical motion in motors.
Why stator stamping is essential for motor performance:
- Eddy current reduction – Thin laminations (0.15–0.20mm) restrict eddy current flow, minimizing core loss
- Precision geometry – Stamping ensures consistent slot/pole shapes for optimal magnetic flux
- Burr-free edges – Quality stamping (burr < 0.03mm) protects winding insulation
- High stacking factor – Precision stamping enables ≥ 97.5% stacking density
- Material optimization – Silicon steel increases electrical resistance and magnetic permeability
ⓘ Stator stamping insight:"Stator stamping is the most critical manufacturing step for electric motors. A 10% reduction in core loss through precision stamping can increase motor efficiency by 5–8%."
Reenives manufactures precision stator stampings using imported 0.2mm silicon steel, progressive stamping dies, and automated epoxy powder coating—delivering optimal magnetic performance for demanding drone, UAV, robotics, and industrial applications.

FAQ: Stator Stamping Technical Questions
Stator stamping is the precision manufacturing process of punching thin electrical steel sheets into the laminations that form the stator cores of motors and generators. It is critical because: (1) laminations minimize eddy current losses by using thin insulated layers instead of a solid core, (2) precision stamping ensures consistent geometry for optimal magnetic flux, (3) burr-free edges protect winding insulation, and (4) high stacking factor maximizes magnetic material density—all of which directly impact motor efficiency, torque, and thermal performance.
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 stator stampings, 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.
Stator stamping uses progressive stamping dies to punch laminations from electrical steel coils—ideal for high-volume production with low per-unit cost. Laser cutting uses fiber lasers to cut laminations—ideal for prototyping, complex geometries, and low-volume production without tooling investment. Stamping offers: (1) lower per-unit cost at high volumes, (2) faster production speeds, (3) consistent quality across millions of parts, and (4) material efficiency. Both methods produce burr-free edges when properly controlled.
Epoxy powder coating provides three critical functions for stator stampings: (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 stator stampings 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.
