Alva Industries’ Tech Torqs: New Video Series Explains Motor Physics and Design
TRONDHEIM, Norway – Alva Industries (ALVA) has successfully completed the first season of Tech Torqs, an educational video series aimed at simplifying complex motor technology concepts. Designed for engineers, integrators, and industrial innovators, the six-part series breaks down technical topics into easy-to-understand explanations, improving comprehension of the motors that drive modern industrial automation and control systems.
Season 1 explores essential motor technology subjects, including:
- Differences between slotted and slotless motors
- Principles and popularity of permanent magnet (PM) motors
- The innovative FiberPrinting manufacturing process
- Cogging torque versus torque ripple
- Understanding magnetic saturation in motors
- Relationship between torque, current, voltage, and speed
Each episode combines theoretical explanations with practical insights, addressing common challenges faced in PLC and DCS control system design. By clarifying these principles, Alva strengthens its reputation as a leader in high-performance motor technologies.
Making Motor Physics Accessible
Nicolas Giraudo, Chief Commercial Officer at Alva Industries, emphasized, “With Tech Torqs, we aim to make motor design and physics understandable for everyone, without requiring advanced technical degrees. The positive feedback from Season 1 confirms the industry’s strong demand for accessible, high-quality technical content.”
This approach not only educates professionals but also fosters informed decision-making in factory automation projects, where selecting the right motor technology directly impacts system performance and reliability.
Season 2 Expands on Advanced Motor Topics
Building on its initial success, Alva plans to launch Season 2 in Q4 2025. The upcoming season will cover more advanced motor technologies while maintaining clarity and practical relevance for both technical specialists and broader industrial audiences.
Giraudo added, “Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge motor solutions and share the expertise behind them. Tech Torqs is an extension of that mission, encouraging discussions that elevate industry knowledge and drive innovation in industrial automation.”
