At Sino, each individual armature core steel sheet, or lamination, is electrically insulated from its adjacent ones by a thin yet durable varnish or an oxide layer that we carefully apply, which effectively reduces both eddy current losses and hysteresis losses.
At Sino, we predominantly utilize high-grade silicon steel (often referred to as electrical steel) which is specifically alloyed and processed for electromagnetic applications, offering a powerful combination of properties:
Sino sources its silicon steel from reputable mills, ensuring consistent quality and magnetic performance, giving your armature core the best possible foundation.
We maintain incredibly tight dimensional tolerances for lamination thickness, flatness, and overall stack dimensions. This precision ensures a high "stacking factor" (more iron, less air gap in the assembled core), which improves magnetic performance. Our standard armature lamination thickness might be 0.35mm or 0.5mm, but we can achieve even finer results for specialized needs.
Our proprietary coating processes ensure a consistent, robust insulating layer on every armature core lamination, crucial for minimizing inter-laminar losses. We test this rigorously.
Whether it's high-speed precision stamping for high-volume production or intricate laser cutting for complex prototypes and smaller batches, Sino employs cutting-edge technology. This results in clean edges, minimal burrs (which can pierce insulation and cause shorts), and accurate slot geometries.
Individual armature laminations must be securely joined to form the final armature core. Sino utilizes various techniques like interlocking (creating small protrusions on one lamination that fit into depressions on the next), precision welding along the outer diameter, or bonding with specialized adhesives, depending on the application's demands for mechanical strength and magnetic performance.
From raw material inspection to final stack testing, quality is embedded in every step of Sino’s manufacturing.
The meticulous work we put into each armature core lamination translates directly into real-world benefits for you:
Let’s look at how lamination thickness, a key factor Sino controls, impacts performance:
Core Design Aspect | Example Lamination Thickness | Approx. Relative Eddy Current Loss (Illustrative) | Typical Sino Focus for This Scenario |
Traditional/Older Designs | >1.0 mm | High (e.g., 4x or more than 0.5mm) | Upgrading customers to modern standards |
General Purpose Motors | 0.5 mm | Baseline Standard | High-quality, consistent 0.5mm armature laminations |
High-Efficiency Motors | 0.35 mm | ~50% of 0.5mm losses | Precision 0.35mm armature core lamination solutions |
Very High-Speed/Freq. | 0.2 mm or less | Significantly lower | Specialized thin-gauge armature laminations |
Sino's armature core laminations are making a tangible difference across a multitude of demanding scenarios:
In a sprawling manufacturing plant where hundreds of electric motors power everything from conveyor belts to pumps to machine tools, running 24/7, even a few percentage points improvement in efficiency per motor, thanks to superior armature core lamination from Sino, can add up to enormous energy savings annually.
In the world of automation and robotics, speed, accuracy, and responsiveness are paramount. Servo motors need to accelerate and decelerate incredibly quickly and hold positions with pinpoint precision. The low-loss, high-performance armature core lamination stacks from Sino ensure that these motors have minimal magnetic lag and can deliver the dynamic performance required.
From small backup generators to larger units contributing to the grid, the reliability and efficiency of the armature core are non-negotiable. Sino provides robust armature laminations for generator sets that need to perform flawlessly, often under demanding conditions. Our consistent material quality and manufacturing precision help ensure stable voltage output and long operational life, critical for hospitals, data centers, and remote communities relying on consistent power.
The shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating, and at the heart of every EV is an advanced electric motor. These motors need to be incredibly efficient to maximize range, lightweight to improve vehicle dynamics, and powerful to deliver exhilarating performance. Sino is actively involved in this space, developing and supplying state-of-the-art armature core lamination solutions, including those from novel, high-performance electrical steels, for EV traction motors.
The fans and compressors in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems run for countless hours. By incorporating Sino’s efficient armature laminations into the motors that drive these systems, manufacturers can achieve higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings, making appliances more attractive to consumers and better for the environment.
We know that one size rarely fits all, especially in specialized engineering. That’s why Sino offers far more than just off-the-shelf armature laminations.
