WindyNation 24 + 18 inch Heavy Duty 12VDC Linear Actuator for Dual Axis Solar Tracker
Designed for lifting and lowering heavy loads. Maximum 1250 lb dynamic load / Maximum 2500 lb static load.
WindyNation's 24 inch and 18 inch HD Linear Actuators are specifically designed to control the east/west (24" actuator) and the north/south (18" actuator) movement on large dual axis solar trackers or satellites. These actuators are compatible with WindyNation's solar tracking electronics and most other solar tracking electronics. (Just make sure the electronics can handle up to 12 amps of current). Limit switches are pre-installed in the actuators so you do not have to worry about the solar tracking electronics forcing the actuators to over travel. The linear actuators will stop moving after they fully extend even if the solar tracking electronics tell the actuators to keep moving.
These actuators are easily capable of being used on a solar tracker with 1500 Watts of solar panels. If the solar tracker is engineered properly and wind loading calculations are performed, the actuators could be used on a solar tracker with 2500 Watts of solar panels. If you are going to use the WindyNation HD Actuators on a solar tracker with more than 1500 Watts of solar panels, WindyNation strongly advises that you have a licensed engineer review and certify your solar tracker design.
