Executive Summary
As electric motors push toward higher rotational speeds,extreme power density,lightweight design,and high-frequency operation,classical magnetic circuit design and stack assembly technologies are reaching their physical limits.
The lamination core serves as both themagnetic path skeletonand theprimary structural carrierof the motor.Its manufacturing technique directly dictates core losses,mechanical integrity,thermal dissipation,and NVH(Noise,Vibration,Harshness)behavior.
While conventional interlock riveting,laser welding,and through-bolts have dominated mass production for decades,they introduce significant magnetic and mechanical bottlenecks in high-frequency,ultra-high-speed operations.Self-bonding(Backlack)lamination technologyfundamentally redefines core assembly—emerging as the definitive manufacturing standard for next-generation precision electric motors.

The Physics Bottleneck of Conventional Core Interlocking
Under high-frequency alternating magnetic fields,the physical method used to join electrical steel laminations dictates not only structural stability but also the electromagnetic performance of the entire drive system.
1.1 Localized Short Circuits&Eddy Loss
Stamping interlocking dimples pierces insulating varnish,forming direct metallic conductive paths.Laser welding along the back-iron creates solid line conductors across stack edges.Under high frequency,these short circuits form vast closed loops,causing core losses($P_e$)and thermal hotspots to spike.
1.2 Mechanical Stress&Permeability
Non-oriented electrical steel exhibits strong magnetostriction and stress sensitivity.Mechanical punching stress from riveting and thermal stress from Heat-Affected Zones(HAZ)in welding degrade magnetic permeability($\mu$)and elevate coercivity($H_c$),causing hysteresis losses($P_h$).
1.3 Packing Factor&Stacking Gaps
Interlocking dimples create air gaps between adjacent sheets,capping thestacking packing factorat93.0%to 96.0%.This unutilized volume directly increases total magnetic reluctance and dilutes volumetric power density.
Technical Mechanisms&Engineering Advantages of Backlack
Self-bonding technology utilizes electrical steel coils pre-coated with a B-stage(semi-cured)thermosetting resin.Once stamped into loose laminations usinghigh-precision progressive stamping dies,the stack is placed inside precision thermal-bonding tools where applied heat and pressure activate full cross-linking.
| Performance Metric | Conventional Riveted/Welded | Self-Bonding(Backlack)Cores | Engineering Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inter-Lamination Insulation | Localized metal contact;high short risk | 100%Full-surface resin isolation | High-frequency iron loss reduced by10%–30% |
| Stacking Factor(Packing Ratio) | 93.0%–96.0% | 97.5%–99.0% | Higher flux density;reduced volume&weight |
| Shear&Bonding Strength | Dependent on mechanical friction | Interface shear strength≥12–15 MPa | Withstands extreme centrifugal forces&shock loads |
| NVH Performance | Micro-gaps allow magnetic resonance | Resin matrix provides structural damping | Reduces high-frequency noise by3–8 dB |
| Ultra-Thin Sheet Handling | Difficult for0.10–0.20 mm | Optimized for0.05–0.20 mmfoils | Unlocks mass production for low-loss alloys |
