We invest in modern, high-speed presses, precision laser cutters, automated stacking lines, and advanced testing equipment. This allows us to produce high volumes of engine laminations efficiently and cost-effectively without compromising on quality.
Less energy wasted as heat means more of your input power gets converted into useful work – whether that’s spinning a driveshaft, compressing a fluid, or transforming voltage. This isn’t just an abstract concept; it translates directly to lower electricity bills for the end-user, longer battery life in an EV, or a more environmentally friendly footprint.
At Sino, we source premium grades of this material for our Engine Laminations. Adding a small percentage of silicon (typically 1-4%) to iron does a couple of brilliant things:
It significantly increases the steel’s electrical resistivity. This gives eddy currents another kick in the pants, making it even harder for them to flow.
Crucially, it reduces that magnetic friction, shrinking the area of the hysteresis loop. Less friction, less wasted energy.
Sino Knows the Drill: Not all electrical steel is the same, and not all scenarios need the same type.

This stuff is special. Its magnetic properties are optimized in one direction (the “rolling direction” during manufacturing). This makes it perfect for transformer cores where the magnetic flux primarily follows a well-defined path. Sino can provide GOES laminations for power and distribution transformers, ensuring maximum efficiency where it’s needed most.

This steel has good magnetic properties in all directions in the plane of the sheet. This makes it the workhorse for rotating machines like electric motors and generators, where the magnetic flux direction is constantly changing. The vast majority of Sino’s Engine Laminations for motor scenarios utilize various grades of NOES, carefully selected for the specific torque, speed, and efficiency targets of your design.
The beauty of Engine Laminations is that their impact is felt across an astonishing array of scenarios. You’ve probably benefited from them multiple times today without even knowing it!
This is a big one. Every single kilometer of range in an EV, every surge of acceleration, is intimately tied to the efficiency of its electric motor(s). Sino’s Engine Laminations are helping EV manufacturers push the boundaries. Thinner gauge, high-performance electrical steels, and precision stacking allow for motors that are:
Factories, processing plants, and manufacturing facilities rely on countless electric motors running pumps, fans, conveyors, machine tools, and more – often 24/7. Efficiency here isn’t just nice; it’s a major operational cost.
From the massive generators in power plants to the transformers stepping voltage up and down across the grid, laminations are essential.
That quiet hum from your new refrigerator? The powerful yet energy-saving cycle of your washing machine or dishwasher? Thank efficient motors, and by extension, quality Engine Laminations.
In aircraft, drones, and other specialized equipment, performance, weight, and reliability are absolutely non-negotiable.
From sourcing the finest electrical steels to precision stamping/laser-cutting, meticulous insulation, and robust stacking techniques, quality is ingrained in everything we do. Our ISO-certified processes and rigorous quality control ensure you get laminations that perform as expected, every time.
We don’t just make parts; we understand the science behind them. Our engineering team can work with you to optimize lamination design for your specific scenario, helping you select the right material, thickness, and geometry to achieve your performance targets. Got a tricky magnetic challenge? Let’s talk.
Off-the-shelf doesn’t always cut it. Sino excels at producing custom Engine Laminations tailored to your unique motor or transformer design. Whether it’s a specific shape, a unique interlocking pattern, or a novel material, we have the flexibility and capability to deliver.
What’s the payoff for you when you choose Sino’s Engine Laminations? It’s all about unlocking peak performance and robust efficiency.
Heat is the enemy of insulation. Cooler cores mean the insulating materials in your motor windings last much longer, improving reliability and reducing premature failures.
If your motor isn't battling excessive internal heat, you can often get more power out of a smaller, lighter package. This is critical in scenarios like electric vehicles, power tools, or aerospace where space and weight are at a premium.
We maintain incredibly tight dimensional tolerances on our stamping and laser-cutting processes. This ensures a good "stacking factor" – meaning more iron and less air gap in your core, leading to better magnetic performance.
Tiny metal burrs on the edges of laminations can pierce the insulation, creating short circuits between sheets and negating the benefits of lamination. Sino employs advanced deburring techniques and stringent quality control to keep burrs to an absolute minimum.
The quality and consistent application of the insulating varnish or oxide layer are paramount. We monitor this closely because a compromised insulation layer is a direct path to increased eddy current losses.
Whether your design calls for interlocking ("interlocked cores"), welding, bonding, or even cleating, Sino has the expertise and equipment to produce robust, precisely aligned lamination stacks tailored to your assembly processes.
Let’s look at how these factors translate into real numbers (conceptual values for illustration):
Feature | Old-School Solid Core Approach | Sino Precision Laminated Core | The Sino Advantage |
Eddy Current Loss | Cripplingly High | Drastically Minimized | Smart design, superior insulation |
Hysteresis Loss | Moderate to High (basic iron) | Very Low (optimized silicon steel) | Premium material selection |
Operating Temperature | Often Toasty to “Ouch, Don’t Touch!” | Comfortably Cool to Warm | Significantly less internal heat generation |
Overall Efficiency | Could be as low as 50-70% | Often 90%+ (depending on motor type) | More output power for your input energy |
Motor Lifespan | Shorter (heat degradation) | Longer, More Reliable | Reduced thermal stress on all components |
Power-to-Weight Ratio | Lower | Higher | Get more punch from a smaller package |
We believe in building long-term relationships. We’ll work collaboratively with your design team, provide technical support, and strive to be a responsive and reliable part of your supply chain. Your success is our success.
At Sino, we’re proud to be master craftsmen of these Engine Laminations. We combine material science, precision engineering, and a passion for performance to deliver Engine Laminations that help you build better, more efficient products for a smarter, more electrified world.
