Stacking Process Steps
After producing the stator and rotor laminations, the assembly and fixation of the stator and rotor stacks typically follow these nine common steps:
01. Prepare Laminations
Clean and inspect lamination sheets to ensure defect-free surfaces and correct dimensions for stacking.
02. Laminations Alignment
Precisely align laminations using guide pins or holes to achieve uniformity and minimize air gaps.
03. Selection Stacking Method
Choose interlocking, welding, bonding, or clamping methods based on design and performance requirements.
04. Stacking the Laminations
Arrange laminations sequentially, ensuring proper order and orientation for optimal magnetic and structural properties.
05. Compression and Clamping
Compress the stack with hydraulic presses and secure temporarily to maintain tightness during fixing processes.
06. Securing the Stack
Permanently fix the stack using welding, adhesives, or rivets for durability and long-term stability.
07. Dimensional and Geometric Inspection
Inspect the stack for height, concentricity, and tolerances to confirm compliance with specifications.
08. Post-Processing (Optional)
Apply insulation, resin curing, or coatings to enhance electrical performance and protect against environmental factors.
09. Final Quality Inspection
Conduct thorough electrical and mechanical checks to ensure the stator stack and rotor stack meet all functional and safety standards.
Post-Stacks Processing
We utilize various processes to enhance the structural integrity, performance, and longevity of laminated stator and rotor core stacks, ensuring optimal functionality.
01. Insulation
Insulating materials, such as varnish, resin, or epoxy coatings, are applied to prevent leakage, improving electrical resistance and safety.
02. Resin Curing
Applying resin to the stator and rotor stacks, then heating to cure, ensuring insulation and enhanced structural integrity for optimal motor performance.
03. Plating Coating
Casting copper or aluminum onto the rotor core, improving conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength, which boosts motor efficiency and lifespan.
04. Vibration Damping
Vibration damping materials, such as rubber, composites, or foams, are used to reduce vibrations during motor operation, improving smoothness and operational efficiency.
05. Heat Treatment
Controlled heating and cooling processes relieve internal stresses, increasing hardness, strength, and stability of materials.
06. Magnetic Treatment
External magnetic fields are applied to saturate materials, enhancing magnetic properties for better efficiency. Conducted using specialized equipment to optimize core performance.
07. Laser Marking
Laser marking provides permanent traceability by engraving serial numbers or codes, ensuring consistency, readability, and accurate tracking in automated production.
08. Surface Grinding or Polishing
Grinding wheels are used to remove rough edges and surface defects, improving the smoothness and finish of laminated stacks, enhancing efficiency and appearance.
