Fixed solar tracking systems produce the highest levels of energy only when the sun is at the optimum angle to the panel. Active systems improve performance and energy production and require slewing drives for mobility. Kinematics’ slewing gears help make solar installations more Slew Drive For Solar Tracker effective and profitable by supporting movement in both single and dual-axis solar trackers.

Moving enormous solar tracking systems requires slewing gearboxes that offer both multi-plane load-holding and rotational torque. Slewing drives that engage a greater number of teeth offer the maximum amount of durability, power, and performance. The Kinematics hourglass worm SKF snl 517 Bearing technology allows for maximum survivability load-holding capacity during wind storms by engaging 5 to 13 teeth at a time (depending on size) compared to the standard one tooth. With improved strength and stability over typical slewing drives, our drives can support the load of large solar panels and troughs while controlling rotational torque.
