What is the purpose of edgewise winding?

Edgewise winding is one of the modern trends in coil manufacturing. The principle of this winding technology is that the rectangular section wire is wound not on the flat part of the wire but on the short side of the wire. That’s where the terms edgewise winding or side-winding stands for.

Edgewise wound coils are typically used in power electronics and motors, especially where the building volume, thermal properties and/or electrical losses are critical parameters. Edgewise windings are available for air core coils, but can also be applied for bobbin coils, depending on the customer’s requirements. These coils can be produced in a wide variety of shapes.

KUK Group has a great deal of experience in coil manufacturing with edgewise windings. Our product team is happy to offer any advice for your development projects!

Self-supported coils: Facts about coils made of selfbonding wire

Self-supported coils are coils made of wire that is coated with a thermoplastic layer - the bonding varnish. The term selfbonding enamel wire already indicates it: This wire is bonded during the winding process to give the coil the necessary stability without any other aids, especially in the case of air coils. The use of selfbonding wire can offer advantages over a bobbin coil in some cases, ...

Insulation layer on magnet wires: A common stumbling block for engineers

In coil production, the insulation of the wire has an influence on a wide variety of product properties such as application range, service life, costs or coil design. Wire insulation also has an effect on various factors during coil manufacturing, such as scrap or further processing. This article summarises the essential facts about wire insulation - and its effect on coil design - for engineers.

No series production without tools

Persistent supply chain disruptions are causing many companies to despair. That's where a quick set-up of series production for customised coil manufacturing is worth its weight in gold. However, the prerequisite for successful series production is optimal tools. At KUK Group, these are mostly manufactured internally as part of the in-house plant engineering.

This is why modular sourcing with your coil manufacturer makes sense

When purchasing electronic components, you can purchase individual parts from separate suppliers. Another variant is so-called Modular Sourcing, in which you hand over the assembly of complete modules to a customer-specific coil manufacturer. This reduces the complexity in your supply chain.
