SIEMENS VDO PIONEERS AUTOMOTIVE USE OF STANYL® PA46 FROM DSM FOR E-MOTOR END-LAMINATE IN NEW ABS PUMP
Stanyl® polyamide 46 (PA46), often used in non-automotive e-motor end-laminates thanks to its thin-wall strength and heat resistance, finds its first in-car use in an anti-blocking system (ABS) pump motor by Siemens VDO. In the compact, newly designed e-motor, Stanyl resin enables a 0.4-0.6 mm, ultra-thin-wall design that maximizes both the laminate size and the number of wire windings. It provides a cost-effective way to optimize the motor assembly process while insulating the wire windings electrically from the metal rotor armature. The Stanyl end-laminate retains working rigidity and dimensional stability up to 290 °C, higher than most thermoplastics subjected to wire winding tension load.
