Lamination Stacks

Best-in-class Stator Packages and More

Lamination stacks are packages of individual sheets separated by electrically insulating layers to suppress eddy current losses under dynamic magnetic loading.

In-house manufactured cobalt-iron or nickel-iron strips in combination with adjusted production technologies are offering optimum stack solutions with respect to performance and costs.

These parts are mainly used as stators and rotors in electric motors and generators but also as laminated cores.

Benefits:

  • Best-in-class cobalt-iron and nickel-iron laminations down to 50 µm strip thickness
  • Unique integrated production control from raw material to ready-to-use stacks including automotive and aerospace certification
  • Huge variety of stacking technologies for prototypes as well as for mass production
  • Customized solutions to ensure highest performance and best value
  • Stator and rotor stacks for electric motors and generators
  • Laminated stacks for actuators, sensors or transformers
