With the rapid explosion of the humanoid robotics and embodied AI industries, joint servo motors face unprecedented demands for power density, peak torque, dynamic response, and thermal management. Within tight space constraints, material selection and precision manufacturing of stator cores have become key bottlenecks defining motor performance limits.
As a specialized custom manufacturer of motor cores, Youyou Company has found through working with clients on frameless torque motors and coreless motors that traditional 0.35mm or 0.50mm silicon steel laminations can no longer meet high-frequency, high-torque requirements. 0.10mm to 0.20mm ultra-thin non-oriented silicon steel, combined with precision stamping and self-bonding (Backlack) technology, has become the standard for high-end robotic joint motors.
During robotic motion, joint motors endure frequent start-stops, high-frequency inverter driving, and instant high-torque overloads. In this process, stator core loss (iron loss, Pfe) is the primary driver of motor overheating and efficiency drop.
Total core loss consists mainly of hysteresis loss (Ph) and eddy current loss (Pe):
(Note: d is lamination thickness, f is magnetic field frequency, Bm is flux density, and ke is the eddy current coefficient.)
The formula clearly shows that eddy current loss is proportional to the square of lamination thickness (d2). Reducing thickness from 0.35mm to 0.10mm theoretically reduces thickness-induced eddy current loss to about 8% of its original value.
Manufacturing Insight: Drastically reducing iron loss at high frequencies means heat generation plummets during high-speed rotation or high-frequency PWM switching. For compact, fanless robotic joint spaces, controlling temperature rise is the key to preventing permanent magnet demagnetization and maintaining servo accuracy.
Based on years of core stamping and slow-feed wire EDM / laser prototyping experience, Youyou Company supports a full range of ultra-thin materials tailored for different robotic joint applications:
| Lamination Thickness | Typical Grades / Specifications | Key Physical Characteristics | Typical Robotic Motor Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.10mm - 0.12mm | JFE 10JNEX900 (In-Stock) B10AHV900M, NO10, 10CS1300 |
Ultra-low high-frequency iron loss, high permeability, optimized for 400Hz–10kHz | Dexterous hand coreless motors, high-RPM / dynamic frameless torque motor stators |
| 0.15mm | B15AHV900M, NO15, 15CS1200 | Optimal balance between iron loss and stamping efficiency | Humanoid joint frameless motors, rotary servo actuators |
| 0.20mm | 20WAV1200, B20AV1300 | Cost-effective, excellent overall high-frequency performance | Industrial robot joints, linear actuators, lightweight servo motors |
In the 0.10mm ultra-thin electrical steel sector, JFE Steel's 10JNEX900 (Super E-Core series) stands out for high-frequency, high-flux density applications. However, long lead times and high minimum order quantities (MOQ) for imported ultra-thin coils often cause sampling bottlenecks for R&D projects.
Youyou Company maintains long-term in-stock inventory of original JFE 10JNEX900 coils, delivering end-to-end support from raw material to rapid prototypes:
A 0.10mm silicon steel sheet is as thin as paper and extremely challenging to process. Traditional assembly methods like interlocking (riveting), welding, or cleating destroy the micron-level insulation coating, causing inter-lamination short circuits and severe localized eddy currents that negate the low-loss advantages of 0.10mm steel.
To overcome this, Youyou Company specializes in Backlack (Self-Bonding) Precision Stator Core Manufacturing:

Advanced technical queries regarding 0.10mm 10JNEX900 electrical steel processing, Backlack self-bonding performance, and humanoid robotic joint motor core manufacturing.
Humanoid joint servo motors operate under high-frequency PWM driving and rapid transient overloads. Because eddy current loss is proportional to the square of lamination thickness ($d^2$), reducing thickness from 0.35mm to 0.10mm decreases thickness-induced eddy loss by over 90%. This drastically suppresses high-frequency core heating, preventing permanent magnet demagnetization in compact, fanless joint spaces.
Traditional riveting or welding disrupts the micron-level insulation layer of 0.10mm steel, creating inter-lamination short circuits and severe localized eddy currents that negate the benefits of ultra-thin steel. Backlack self-bonding joins 100% of the surface under heat and pressure, providing 100% interlaminar insulation and zero-stress structural integrity to fully release 10JNEX900's native magnetic permeability.
Traditional stacks contain microscopic air gaps that act as thermal barriers. Backlack's continuous cured resin layer completely fills inter-sheet voids, boosting axial thermal conductivity by 200%–300%. Combined with an ultra-high stacking factor of ≥ 98%, this allows heat to dissipate rapidly to the outer housing, maximizing continuous torque density.
Yes. The cross-linked thermosetting Backlack varnish forms a high-rigidity polymer structure with shear strength ≥ 12 MPa. It maintains stable bonding strength under continuous thermal operating cycles up to +150°C to +180°C, preventing lamination loosening or vibration resonance under instant peak torque overloads.
