New adhesive solutions for assembly of high-performance lamination stacks
The current electrification megatrend has resulted in a drive toward higher efficiency machines. Losses in these machines are comprised primarily of iron losses (including stator and rotor losses), friction losses, and stray load. In an effort to minimize motor losses and increase efficiency manufacturers are implementing alternative methods of assembly for components that reduce the causes of these losses. Bonding of individual lamination to form a rotor and stator is one method that is increasing in popularity as the performance benefits provide significant advantages.
