Pushing the Limits of Layer Winding! A Case Study of Air-Core Coil Verification Using In-House Winding Machines
2026-05-05
In manufacturing, a wide variety of coil shapes are required to meet specific space and performance requirements. Among these, cylindrical air-core coils are particularly difficult to wind due to their geometry, and the precision of the layer winding significantly dictates the final product's quality.
This report presents an independent verification case study initiated by a customer inquiry: "To what extent is perfect layer winding achievable on a cylindrical coil with a 20.5mm winding width?" The motivation behind this challenge was also driven by our engineers' desire to personally test the absolute performance limits of Proneck winding machines.
Coil Specifications for Verification
Shape: Cylindrical air-core coil
Wire Diameter: φ0.08 mm (Ultra-fine wire)
Inner Diameter: φ2 mm
Width (Winding Width): 20.5 mm (Maximum capacity of our winding machine)
Challenge and Results at 3,000 rpm
To simulate actual mass-production conditions, the winding was performed at a rotational speed of 3,000 rpm. The results confirmed that a perfectly aligned cylindrical layer winding is achievable for up to 8,000 turns.

Note: The white line-like markings on the 8,000-turn coil are fragments of the self-bonding film caused by the routing of the lead wires.
