Trondheim, Norway – 3 December 2024 – Alva Industries (Alva), a manufacturer of frameless motors and owner and creator of FiberPrinting™ technology, has today announced a new partnership with RLS, the global manufacturer of rotary and linear magnetic sensors, to provide framed motor evaluation kits for rapid motor and encoder testing and technology evaluation.

The evaluation kits are available for motor sizes of 39mm, 75mm and 130mm outer diameter, and include an Alva SlimTorq™ slotless motor and an RLS AksIM™ absolute magnetic encoder. Contact Alva today to make an inquiry.

SlimTorq™ is a range of torque motors ideal for high-precision and high-speed applications across land, sea, air and space. SlimTorq™ motors are manufactured by Alva’s revolutionary FiberPrinting™ technology which enables ironless and slotless motor windings with up to 60% copper fill factor, setting a new standard in precision, torque density and adaptability.

AksIM™ encoders are high-performance non-contact absolute encoders designed for applications with limited installation space.The compact devices offer true absolute position measurement with integrated self-monitoring and immunity to external magnetic fields.

“RLS encoders and Alva motors have a great synergy when it comes to delivering high performance in a compact and low-profile form,” said Martina Gajsek, Marketing Manager at RLS. “We are proud to partner with Alva to make our products available to OEMs and help improve the performance of their systems for high-precision applications”
