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.

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.

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.
