Let’s build a better, more powerful motor together.

The Sino Difference: Built for Top Performance

At Sino, we focus on what matters most: making motors more efficient and powerful. Our DC motor laminations are specially designed to fight the two main things that waste energy in a motor: eddy currents and hysteresis loss.

Stopping Wasted Energy

 Eddy currents are tiny, swirling electric currents that create heat and waste power. Our very thin DC motor laminations act like a wall to stop these currents. Each lamination is covered with a special insulation coating, so electricity can’t jump from one sheet to the next. This simple idea saves a huge amount of energy.

Higher Torque Density

Our smart designs and top-quality materials mean you can get more power out of a smaller motor. This is great for jobs where space and weight matter, like in drones or medical tools.

Cooler and Quieter

A more efficient motor runs cooler, which means other parts last longer. Our tight and perfectly stacked cores also help reduce motor noise and vibration. This makes your final product smoother and quieter. We even use special methods like lamination skewing to make the motor run even more smoothly. The skew angle is set perfectly for what you need.

The Right Materials for a Stronger Motor Core

The secret to a great motor core is the material it’s made from. Sino has a wide range of magnetic materials. Each one is picked and prepared to work best for different kinds of DC motors and their DC motor laminations.

Non-Oriented Electrical Steels (NOES)

NOES are used in most DC motor laminations. This is because their magnetic properties are the same in all directions, which is good for spinning motors.

  • Grades and Features: We use many different grades, from standard M400-50A to high-performance ones like M250-35A and M270-35A.
  • Magnetic Strength: Good quality NOES can handle a lot of magnetic force, around 1.8–2.1 T. This gives the motor a lot of turning power.
  • Heat Removal: The material is good at moving heat away along the layers of the DC motor laminations. It has a high thermal conductivity, usually 20–30 W/m·K.
  • How It’s Made: We usually make these parts by stamping them. After stamping, we heat them in a special way (called annealing) to bring back their best magnetic qualities.

Grain-Oriented Electrical Steels (GOES)

GOES are mostly used in transformers. But, we can use them in certain parts of DC motors where the magnetic force flows mainly in one direction. GOES has excellent magnetic properties in that one direction, with very little energy loss and great magnetic strength.

Amorphous Alloys

Amorphous alloys, like those made from Fe-Si-B, have extremely low energy loss, especially when the motor runs fast. This is because they don’t have a regular crystal structure and resist electricity well.

  • Best Use: These are perfect for motors that run at high speeds (over 1 kHz) or when stopping energy loss is the most important thing. We can also make hybrid stacks, where we use thin amorphous strips at the tips of the teeth to greatly reduce energy loss in those specific spots.
  • How It’s Made: These materials are very thin, about 25 µm. This makes it important to stack them tightly and make sure they are strong. We often use lasers to cut them instead of stamping, because stamping can make them brittle.

Soft Magnetic Composites (SMCs)

SMCs are made from powder. They have special benefits for motors where the magnetic force moves in three dimensions.

  • Features: They are very good at stopping eddy currents, which makes them better than regular silicon steels for high-speed motors. Their magnetic properties are the same in all directions, which is great for complex motor shapes.
  • Best Use: They are perfect for certain types of motors (BLDC/PM and SRMs) that have complex shapes and where the magnetic force moves in 3D.
  • How It’s Made: We press the powder into the final shape and then heat it. This lets us create 3D features directly and produces almost no waste material.

Hybrid Material Stacks

At Sino, we also use hybrid material stacks. This means we mix different materials in a single stack of DC motor laminations to get the best results.

  • Examples:
    • Amorphous/NOES Hybrids: By adding some amorphous alloy layers to the tips of the teeth, we can reduce energy loss by 20–40% at medium speeds.
    • SMC/NOES Hybrids: By using SMC parts where the magnetic force moves in 3D, we can cut down on local eddy current losses by 30–60% at high speeds.
  • Benefits: Hybrid stacks give us a special way to reduce energy loss, manage heat, and lower noise and shaking. This lets us create much better motor designs than we could with just one material.

At Sino, choosing a material is more than just picking a type. We think about how the material will act in the real world, how easy it is to make parts from it, and how it will help the whole motor work better. It is a key part of making quality DC motor laminations.

Smart Designs for Different Motor Types

At Sino, our approach is to create the perfect shape and design for the DC motor laminations for each different kind of DC motor.

Brushed DC Motors

For brushed DC motors, the stack of DC motor laminations is mainly used to build the spinning part (the armature or rotor) and sometimes the stationary part (the stator).

  • Armature Laminations: The shape of the slots is important for how well the motor runs and how long the brushes last. The design needs to make sure the magnetic force connects well.
  • Controlling Heat: We often include air channels in the rotor. These channels help cool the motor because heat doesn’t travel well through the stacked layers.

Radial Flux BLDC Motors

  • Stator Design: We carefully plan the number of slots and poles, the width of the teeth, and the opening of the slots. This helps us get more power, reduce unwanted vibration (cogging torque), and make it easier to add the wires.
  • Rotor Design (IPM): For IPM motors, the rotor’s DC motor laminations have special gaps called flux barriers. These gaps help direct the magnetic field, add extra turning power, and protect the magnets. By designing these barriers perfectly, we can use 10–20% fewer magnets to get the same amount of power.

Axial Flux BLDC Motors

In axial flux motors, the magnetic force moves in complex 3D paths. This makes them a perfect fit for materials like Soft Magnetic Composites (SMCs) or 3D-printed cores, which work well with magnetic force from any direction.

Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM)

The shape of the poles on the stator and rotor is extremely important. It affects how much power the motor makes, how smoothly it runs, and how much noise it creates.

  • Smart Design: Well-designed SRM rotors often have flux barriers and thinner sections. These features help control the magnetic path and can increase turning power by 8–20%.
  • Reducing Noise and Shaking: We can use smart design to reduce forces that cause vibration. This leads to a big drop in the noise the motor makes.

Our design engineers use powerful computer programs and a lot of real-world test data. With these tools, they create shapes for DC motor laminations that are great for performance and also easy and affordable to make with high accuracy.

Made with Care: Our Building Process

How a lamination is made is just as important as the material it’s made from. The way we make and put together the stacks of DC motor laminations has a huge impact on their final magnetic performance. At Sino, we use the latest technology for electric motor manufacturing. Our process ensures every single lamination is perfect.

Step 1: Cutting with Precision

  • Lamination Stamping: For large orders, we use a powerful press and a custom tool. This is the cheapest way to make a lot of parts. We use very precise tools and take great care of them to avoid rough edges. After stamping, we heat the parts to bring back their best magnetic qualities.
  • Laser Cut Laminations: When we are testing new ideas or making prototypes of DC motor laminations, we use a laser. A laser is very precise and flexible. It’s great for making small numbers of parts, especially for tricky shapes or for materials that can break easily, like amorphous alloys.

After cutting, we perform lamination deburring. This removes any tiny rough edges, called lamination burr, to ensure a perfect fit and a smooth lamination surface finish.

Step 2: Building the Core

Once the individual laminations are cut, they are stacked to form the armature core or the stator core. Our core assembly techniques are the best in the business.

  • Interlocking: We punch small tabs into the DC motor laminations that lock them together like puzzle pieces. This is a strong and cheap way to hold the stack together.
  • Welding: For very strong cores that spin fast, we use welding. Welding creates a strong bond between the layers. We have to design this process carefully to get the right mix of strength, heat removal, and low energy loss.
  • Bonding: We can use a special glue between each sheet of the DC motor laminations. The sheets are coated with a special epoxy that is hardened with heat and pressure. This creates a very solid single piece that is strong and good at reducing noise and shaking.
  • Riveting: A classic method where a rivet is used to hold the stack together.

We carefully control the core compression to get the best stacking factor. This means we pack as much steel as possible into the core for maximum power.

Step 3: Final Touches

After the core is built, some parts need one more step. We use a heat treatment, called annealing, to relax the steel. This improves its magnetic structure and cuts down on energy loss even more
