This paper describes the weight reduction technology of brushless DC (BLDC) motor with both advanced magnetic powder core instead of Si sheet steel core and copper cladding aluminum (CCA) instead of copper winding. In order to apply the high-density magnetic core for BLDC motor, the warm compaction process with die wall lubrication was used in this work. In general, the density of magnetic core is strongly associated with the core loss. The motor efficiency was improved as the magnetic core density was increased. Results showed that the oil pump motor using the advanced magnetic powder core was decreased about 10% in size and reduced about 10% in weight comparing to the convention motor with Si sheet steel core. Consequently, the motor and oil pump system containing the advanced powder core was satisfied the requirements during the performance and durability test.
