Trondheim, Norway - 18 June 2025 - ALVA Industries (Alva) will showcase a live demonstration at Automatica 2025, powered by Elmo. This demo features Alva’s SlimTorq frameless motors, driven by Elmo’s high-performance servo drive technology.

Trondheim, Norway / Kippenheim, Germany - 16 June 2025 - ALVA Industries (Alva), a manufacturer of frameless motors and owner of FiberPrinting™ technology, has partnered with Neugart GmbH (Neugart), a global expert in planetary gearboxes and drive solutions, to showcase fully integrated AGV drive units at Automatica 2025.

We are pleased to launch the Alva’s Electric Motor Toolbox, a comprehensive and intuitive set of calculators now available on our website. Whether you’re developing a new electric drivetrain, configuring a motor controller, or analyzing performance data for slotless motors or slotted motors, this tool is designed to support your workflow with clarity, precisely and holistically.

In this first Tech Torqs episode, Design Engineer Philipp Betschart breaks down the core physics behind motor performance. Learn how SlimTorq™ motors behave under different electrical inputs, and why current means torque, and voltage means speed.

This article explains how a thick bond line concept can be used to mount a frameless torque motor, using Alva’s SlimTorq™ 85-24 lite motor as an example. The method is ideal for applications where precise mechanical fits are not feasible, or where thermal management requirements call for structural adhesives with high conductivity.

This article introduces the thin bond line mounting method, demonstrated using Alva’s SlimTorq™ motor with 130 mm outer diameter, in the Max version (STM-130-27-M). This method is one of several mounting options that are covered by our instructional video series. You can also watch the full video for a complete walkthrough of the process.
