Alva Industries (Alva) has expanded its SlimTorq series of slotless frameless motors with new diameters, available in 25mm, 85mm and 160mm size variants.
Alva has also introduced a new three-phase Hall-effect sensor option, available across the entire SlimTorq lineup. These sensors feature open-drain output, a built-in 1.2kΩ pull-up resistor and 5VDC supply voltage, enabling integration for applications requiring commutation or simple speed and position feedback.
SlimTorq is thin and light, making it usable for high-precision and high-speed applications on land, sea, air and space. SlimTorq motors are manufactured by Alva’s FiberPrinting technology which enables ironless and slotless motor windings with up to 60% copper fill factor.
Applications for SlimTorq motors include:
- High Precision Gimbals
- Medical Devices & Surgical Robots
- Defense & SatCom
- Light Robotics
- Marine Propulsion
- Metrology
- Semiconductor
“FiberPrinting allows us to break through the limitations of conventional motor manufacturing,” said Nicolas Giraudo, chief commercial officer at Alva Industries, “With SlimTorq, our customers benefit from a unique combination of slim design, high torque density, linearity and scalability - all while reducing weight and optimizing heat dissipation.”
