Quality Control for Lamination Bonding Stacks

As an stator and rotor lamination bonding stack manufacturer in China, we strictly inspect the raw materials used to make the laminations.

Technicians use measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, and meters to verify the dimensions of the laminated stack.

Visual inspections are performed to detect any surface defects, scratches, dents, or other imperfections that may affect the performance or appearance of the laminated stack.

Because disc motor lamination stacks are usually made of magnetic materials such as steel, it is critical to test magnetic properties such as permeability, coercivity, and saturation magnetization.

Injection Molding of Motor Lamination Stacks

Injection molding insulation for motor stators is a specialized process used to create an insulation layer to protect the stator's windings.

This technology involves injecting a thermosetting resin or thermoplastic material into a mold cavity, which is then cured or cooled to form a solid insulation layer.

The injection molding process allows for precise and uniform control of the thickness of the insulation layer, guaranteeing optimal electrical insulation performance. The insulation layer prevents electrical short circuits, reduces energy losses, and improves the overall performance and reliability of the motor stator.

What manufacturing processes are currently used for motor lamination cores?

In addition to stamping and laser cutting, wire etching, roll forming, powder metallurgy and other processes can also be used. The secondary processes of motor laminations include glue lamination, electrophoresis, insulation coating, winding, annealing, etc.

How to order motor laminations?

You can send us your information, such as design drawings, material grades, etc., by email. We can make orders for our motor cores no matter how big or small, even if it is 1 piece.

How long does it usually take you to deliver the core laminations?

Our motor laminate lead times vary based on a number of factors, including order size and complexity. Typically, our laminate prototype lead times are 7-20 days. Volume production times for rotor and stator core stacks are 6 to 8 weeks or longer.

Can you design a motor laminate stack for us?

Yes, we offer OEM and ODM services. We have extensive experience in understanding motor core development.

What is the advantages of bonding vs welding on rotor and stator?

The concept of rotor stator bonding means using a roll coat process that applies an insulating adhesive bonding agent to the motor lamination sheets after punching or laser cutting. The laminations are then put into a stacking fixture under pressure and heated a second time to complete the cure cycle. Bonding eliminates the need for a rivet joints or welding of the magnetic cores, which in turn reduces interlaminar loss. The bonded cores show optimal thermal conductivity, no hum noise, and do not breathe at temperature changes.

Can glue bonding withstand high temperatures?

Absolutely. The glue bonding technology we use is designed to withstand high temperatures. The adhesives we use are heat resistant and maintain bond integrity even in extreme temperature conditions, which makes them ideal for high-performance motor applications.

What is glue dot bonding technology and how does it work?

Glue dot bonding involves applying small dots of glue to the laminates, which are then bonded together under pressure and heat. This method provides a precise and uniform bond, ensuring optimal motor performance.

What is the difference between self-bonding and traditional bonding?

Self-bonding refers to the integration of the bonding material into the laminate itself, allowing the bonding to occur naturally during the manufacturing process without the need for additional adhesives. This allows for a seamless and long-lasting bond.

Can bonded laminates be used for segmented stators in electric motors?

Yes, bonded laminations can be used for segmented stators, with precise bonding between the segments to create a unified stator assembly. We have mature experience in this area. Welcome to contact our customer servic.
