Alva Industries, a manufacturer of frameless motors with FiberPrinting™ technology, has launched its new SlimTorq™ range of slotless thin-section motors for high-precision applications on land, sea, and air.
SlimTorq motors are available in sizes from 39mm to 130mm outer diameter and are manufactured by the company’s next-generation FiberPrinting technology.
The new SlimTorq series of motors feature an ultra-thin and compact form factor, high precision and power, and are brushless for reliability. They also boast low noise and vibrations, non-skewed windings for maximized torque output, and infinite design possibilities for rapid customization.
Applications for the new SlimTorq motors include:
- High precision gimbals
- Medical devices & surgical robotics
- Defense & satcom
- Marine propulsion
- Metrology
- Semiconductor
The FiberPrinting process enables ironless and slotless motor windings with up to 60% copper fill factor, setting a new standard in precision, torque density and adaptability.
Nicolas Giraudo, CCO at Alva Industries, commented, “We hear all the time from engineers developing systems for high-precision applications that they need to reduce size, weight, and power consumption, while improving overall performance. With SlimTorq™ this is now possible, as it is the thinnest and lightest precision torque motor available on the market.”
Jørgen P. Selnes, CEO & co-founder of Alva, added, “One of the key benefits of FiberPrinting™ is its intrinsic flexible process, allowing us to develop custom windings faster than competitors.”
