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