Electric Motors
Maximize the performance of your electric motors with our specialized adhesives
In the manufacturing of electric motors, small installation space units and maximum efficiency are essential. Previous manufacturing processes often reach their limits when it comes to reducing installation space and increasing efficiency. For example, adhesives can be used to bond components such as magnets and sheet metal laminations together in an electrically insulating manner in order to avoid eddy current losses.
DELO offers the solution: Our adhesives for electric motors are ideally suitable for reducing installation space through thin adhesive gaps and thus increasing the performance of your motors.
Our customized adhesive solutions enable the highest structural strength and bridging of gap sizes, while offering high temperature and media resistance. They are impact resistant and tension-equalizing and support flexible curing processes, such as rapid heat curing, room temperature or initial light curing, enabling fast and precise processes.
DELO adhesives are used in a wide range of applications within electric motor manufacturing. You benefit from our technology to maximize the efficiency and compactness of your motors.
