Transformer Lamination Stacks Manufacturer

We know that the quality of the laminated core of transformer directly dictates its performance, efficiency, and lifespan. So Here at Sino, we don’t just make these components; we pour decades of expertise into every single stack.

Sino’s Commitment to Premium Materials

The material choice is absolutely paramount for achieving optimal performance, and at Sino, we’re uncompromising on quality. We don’t just grab any sheet metal off the shelf. Our transformer laminations are predominantly crafted from high-grade silicon steel. Why silicon steel? It’s the industry standard for very good reasons:

Boosted Electrical Resistivity: Adding a small percentage of silicon (typically 1-4%) to the steel significantly increases its natural resistance to electrical flow. This gives those eddy currents another hurdle to overcome, further minimizing losses.
Tackling Hysteresis Losses: Hysteresis loss is the energy consumed as the core material is repeatedly magnetized and demagnetized with each alternating current cycle. Silicon steel, especially the grain-oriented varieties we process at Sino, possesses magnetic properties that dramatically reduce this wasteful energy expenditure.
Superior Magnetic Permeability: You want a core material that’s a fantastic conductor of magnetic flux – easy to magnetize and demagnetize with minimal fuss. High-quality silicon steel offers just that, ensuring the magnetic field can do its work efficiently.

Sino’s Range: The Perfect Lamination for Every Scenario

Sino offers and expertly processes a range of lamination materials, ensuring you get the optimal fit for your specific needs:

Feature	Cold-Rolled Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel (CRGO)	Non-Oriented Silicon Steel (NGOES)	Amorphous Metals (When Sourced for Special Projects)
Sino’s Argument For Use	For scenarios demanding the absolute lowest core loss and highest efficiency, where flux travels in a predictable direction. Sino ensures optimal grain alignment during processing.	For cost-effective solutions where magnetic properties need to be consistent in multiple directions within the sheet. Sino provides high-quality NGOES for diverse machinery.	For cutting-edge, high-frequency applications where minimizing losses is critical and justifies a premium material. Sino has the capability to process these delicate materials precisely.
Typical Sino Client Scenarios	Large power transformers for utility grids, high-efficiency distribution transformers. A recent project involved supplying CRGO laminations for a regional substation upgrade, resulting in a documented 2% improvement in overall grid efficiency.	Electric motors, generators, smaller industrial transformers, lighting ballasts, and appliance transformers. We regularly supply NGOES laminations to motor manufacturers, helping them achieve better energy ratings.	Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), specialized medical equipment transformers, renewable energy inverters. We partnered with a medical device company to develop a compact, ultra-efficient power unit using amorphous cores.
Key Characteristics	Anisotropic – magnetic properties are optimized along the grain (rolling) direction. This requires precise cutting and stacking, a Sino specialty.	More uniform (isotropic) magnetic properties. Offers good performance with more design flexibility.	Non-crystalline (glassy) structure, typically supplied as very thin ribbons (e.g., 0.025 mm). Requires specialized handling and stacking, which Sino has mastered.
Considerations/Trade-offs	Higher material cost than NGOES; performance is sensitive to mechanical stress and ensuring flux aligns with the grain. Sino’s careful handling minimizes these sensitivities.	Higher core losses compared to CRGO. However, its versatility and cost-effectiveness make it ideal for many scenarios.	More brittle, generally higher cost than silicon steels, and can have a lower saturation flux density. Best for specific high-frequency, low-loss demands.

Our material choices and processing techniques are always guided by industry best practices and standards, such as those defined by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and ASTM International. We source our raw materials from reputable mills known for their consistent quality, ensuring that the foundation of your transformer laminated core is solid.

Understanding Your World

We take the time to understand your broader project goals. By knowing what you’re trying to achieve, we can often suggest subtle improvements or alternative approaches for your transformer laminations that you might not have considered, potentially saving you cost, improving performance, or accelerating your time to market.

Craftsmanship Counts: Sino’s Dedication to Manufacturing Excellence

Having the best materials is only half the battle. How those materials are transformed into the final transformer laminations and assembled into a core is where Sino’s manufacturing prowess truly shines. The little details make a world of difference:

Banishing Burrs

At Sino, we employ precision tooling, regular maintenance, and, where necessary, de-burring processes to ensure our laminations are smooth and clean. This was critical for a client manufacturing sensitive audio transformers, where even minute core imperfections could introduce audible hum. Our burr-free laminations helped them achieve pristine sound quality.

Maximizing the Stacking Factor

A higher stacking factor means more magnetic material is doing the work, leading to a more powerful and efficient core for its size. Sino’s precise cutting and automated stacking processes aim to maximize this factor, ensuring you get the most magnetic punch for your volume.

Annealing

To counteract mechanical stresses which are introduced by the processes of stamping, cutting, and handling, many of our transformer laminations undergo a critical heat treatment process called annealing. By carefully heating and cooling the laminations in a controlled atmosphere, we relieve these internal stresses, restoring the material’s optimal magnetic performance and ensuring your laminated core of transformer performs exactly as designed.
