The American company, Kinematics, has been involved for many years in the development of slewing gears for tracking the movement of the sun.
The company's products provides turning and movement for a variety of mirrors, dishes and a wide range of PV panels through one reliable, easy to install and maintain mechanism.
They have a wide range of slewing gears with a center hole to enable tubing and electricity to pass through.
The slewing gears are intended for use in tough environmental conditions like rain, dust and heat.
In their line are slewing gears of various sizes and transmission ratios.
The company produces slewing gears from the smallest diameter of 3" to their largest of 25", with ratios from 1:62 to 1:150 for the largest gear, so they provide a solution for panels ranging from 10m ² to 120 m ²
The gears come with various drives
- direct current motors – 12-24VDC
- stepper motors
- alternating current motors AC
- hydraulic motors
They are fully sealed, with surface paint and processing to prevent rust
Kinematics has assembled many systems throughout the world and are considered the leader in the field of sun tracking gears.
