5000N Motorless Linear Actuator for Solar Tracking Systems

5000N Push & Pull · External Drive · Multi-Point Linkage

This 5000N motorless linear actuator is designed for solar tracking systems where linear movement is driven by an external rotary power source rather than an individual built-in motor.

The mechanical structure converts external rotary input into linear movement, allowing the actuator to work as part of a multi-point linkage solar tracker system.

With a rated push and pull load of 5000N, this design provides a mechanical drive solution for tracker structures where the power source and linear adjustment points are arranged separately.

Key Features

Technical Specifications

Final stroke, installation dimensions, mechanical interface and drive configuration should be confirmed according to the tracker structure and project requirements.

Drive & Adjustment Parameters

How a Motorless Linear Actuator Works

Unlike a conventional electric linear actuator with an integrated motor, this actuator receives rotary motion from an external drive source.

The mechanical transmission converts the rotary input into linear movement. This allows the drive source and the linear adjustment points to be arranged separately within the solar tracker structure.

For tracker designs using several mechanically connected adjustment points, one drive arrangement can transfer movement through the linkage structure according to the mechanical design of the system.

Designed for Multi-Point Linkage Solar Trackers

Multi-point linkage solar trackers mechanically connect several adjustment positions so that movement can be transferred through the linkage system.

In this type of arrangement, a motorless linear actuator can operate as a mechanical movement unit rather than requiring an individual motor at every adjustment point.

The final configuration depends on the tracker geometry, number of linkage points, required travel, operating load and available installation space.

Mechanical Interface & Installation

For a motorless linear actuator, selection is not based on load alone. The external drive interface, stroke, installation dimensions and linkage geometry all need to match the tracker structure.

Before confirming the configuration, the following information should be evaluated together: required load, stroke, installation distance, drive input, linkage arrangement and mounting interface.

If the final actuator dimensions have not yet been determined, a tracker drawing or mechanical linkage layout can be provided for evaluation.

Final dimensions and mechanical interfaces depend on the selected configuration and tracker structure.

Solar Tracker Applications

Motorless actuators can be integrated into solar tracker structures where mechanical linkage is used to transfer movement between multiple adjustment points.

The actuator works as part of the tracker mechanical system, so product configuration should be evaluated according to the actual tracker structure, linkage arrangement and project requirements.
