OEM 7" Slew Drive Gearbox, Low Speed For Horizontal Single Axis
Solar Tracker
7" Slew Drive Gearbox Description
Solar tracking slewing drives are mechanical devices specifically
designed for solar energy systems. They facilitate the movement and
positioning of solar panels or mirrors to maximize their exposure
to the sun throughout the day. These drives consist of a gearbox
and a rotating mechanism that enables precise and continuous
tracking of the sun's movement.

Applications
Solar Tracking Systems: Slewing drives are extensively used in
solar tracking systems, which aim to maximize solar energy capture
by orienting solar panels or mirrors toward the sun. The slewing
drive enables precise and continuous tracking of the sun's
movement, optimizing energy output.
Robotics and Automation: Slewing drives are utilized in robotic
systems and automation equipment that require precise and
controlled rotational movements. They are commonly used in robotic
arms, positioning systems, and automated assembly lines.
Aerospace and Defense: Slewing drives find applications in the
aerospace and defense sectors. They are used in satellite tracking
systems, radar systems, missile launchers, and other military
equipment that require accurate and reliable rotation.
Marine and Offshore: Slewing drives are employed in marine and
offshore applications, including ship cranes, offshore drilling
platforms, and tidal energy systems. They provide the necessary
rotational motion for various operations in these environments.
The versatility, robustness, and ability to handle heavy loads make
slewing drives suitable for a wide range of applications. They
offer precise control, durability, and reliability, making them an
integral component in many industries that rely on controlled
rotation or slewing motion.
