Made in China Single Axis Solar Sun Tracker Solar Tracking Systems With Slew Drive
What is a Single-Axis Solar Tracker with a Slew Drive? In simple terms,it's a system that slowly rotates solar panels to follow the sun's path across the sky,using a highly robust and precise gearbox(the slew drive)as its core mechanical component. Single-Axis Tracking:The panels rotate on one axis,typically north-south.This allows them to follow the sun from east to west throughout the day,increasing energy production by 20-30%compared to fixed-tilt systems.
Slew Drive:This is the heart of the system.A slew drive is a compact,high-torque gearbox that combines: A Worm Gear:Provides a high reduction ratio,meaning a small,fast motor can generate massive rotational force. A Slewing Ring:A large bearing that can handle heavy radial,axial,and moment loads(the weight and wind forces on the panels). Why is the Slew Drive a Game-Changer for Solar Trackers? Traditional trackers might use linear actuators or simpler motors with chains or belts.Slew drives offer distinct advantages: High Torque and Robustness:They are incredibly strong and can support very long rows of solar panels,even in windy conditions.

Self-Locking Capability:The worm gear design is inherently self-locking.This means when the drive stops,it holds its position without needing a brake.This is a critical safety feature that prevents the array from moving uncontrollably in high winds. Precision and Reliability:They provide smooth,precise rotation and are known for their durability and long service life with minimal maintenance. Compact Design:They integrate the motor,gearbox,and bearing into a single,sealed unit,simplifying the tracker's structure.
