Frameless motor creation platform, with haptic motor simulation

10 Nov 2026

Visitors have the opportunity to explore Alva's SlimTorq and GearTorq frameless motor series and see how FiberPrinting manufacturing technology is being integrated into real-world applications through several demonstrations developed with industry partners.

Visitors can also experience TorqStudio, Alva's online platform for motor creation and analysis, through live demonstrations at the booth. The platform enables engineers to design, customize, and evaluate motor configurations based on their specific application requirements.

Integrated direct drives

Developed in collaboration with Siboni, another demonstration features Alva's SlimTorq STM-130-27-M motor integrated into a framed direct-drive assembly with a Flux inductive encoder. The demonstration illustrates how frameless motor technology can be integrated into complete motion systems for applications including gimbals, optronics, exoskeletons, and semiconductor equipment.

Slotted versus slotless motors?

Visitors can experience Alva's slotted vs. slot-less motor demonstration, offering a hands-on comparison of the two technologies. By interacting directly with both motors, visitors can feel the difference in cogging torque, explore their holding torque capabilities, and see how slot-less technology enables smooth motion and precise control.

Haptic feedback simulator

Developed in collaboration with Solo Motor Controllers, this demonstration features a haptic feedback simulator that compares slotted and slot-less motor technologies in the context of automotive applications. The simulator illustrates how differences in cogging torque can affect motor behaviour, highlighting the benefits of zero cogging torque for smooth and precise motion.
