Editing Stator (section)

==Design==
Motor stators are made either from iron/steel or from a [[printed circuit board]] (PCB). Originally applied to low-power applications, PCB stators can be lighter, smaller, and less noisy.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Gustes-Pinto |first=Paulo |date=2022-03-26 |title=This Axial-Flux Motor With a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World |url=https://spectrum.ieee.org/axial-flux |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=IEEE Spectrum |language=en}}</ref>

One design embeds thin copper traces in the PCB stator that serve as the windings. The traces  are interleaved with epoxy-glass laminates, that insulate each coil from its neighbors. An air core replaces the traditional iron core, saving space and weight, and allowing a smaller air gap.<ref name=":0" />

[[Hairpin technology|Hairpin windings]] may be used in the construction of electric motor stators. This technology, uses windings with wires that individually, may have larger cross sections than those used in conventional windings.
