Slewing Drive With Stepper Motor And Encoders For High Presision Solar Tracking System

Slewing Drive Description

Horizontal single-axis system with single-axis slewing drive
The single-axis tracking system is suitable for use in areas with latitudes below 30 degrees, and can increase power generation by 20%-30%.
Inclined single-axis system with single-axis slewing drive
Oblique single-axis tracking and vertical single-axis tracking are suitable for use in areas with latitude higher than 40 degrees, which can increase power generation by 25%-35%.
Dual axis tracking system using dual axis slewing drive
The system has an axis of rotation in two directions. The panels can be made to track the sun at the same time in the sun's azimuth as well as in its altitude. So as to achieve that the panels remain perpendicular to the sun's rays. Dual-axis tracking is suitable for use in areas with latitudes higher than 40 degrees, which can increase power generation by 35-45%.

About Us

You can order a basic type (open gear) or a fully enclosed type. We also offer a two-axis slew drive (single rotary drive rotates simultaneously in both directions) and a single-shaft dual drive (two drive worms drive the same slewing bearing on a single shaft).

Typical slew drive applications include solar power plants, wind turbines, truck cranes, aerial work vehicles, utility equipment, hydraulic equipment, petroleum equipment, wheel steering equipment, excavators, and automatic lifting equipment. There are many other applications that have not been exhaustively listed, as the slewing drive is the best choice for applications that offer high loads and high torque on the same transmission.

We produce many different types of slew drives and offer many types of slew drives and drive components. Our slew drives can be self-locking or back-drive. The self-locking slew drive does not reverse when the reverse force is transmitted from the slewing ring to the worm, and there is no need to install a separate brake. Instead of self-locking, it can be driven in reverse. For hydraulic applications, we supply hydraulic motors to our customers. For electric equipment, we can supply gearboxes and various motors for our customers.
