Solar Tracker

Bringing New Possibilities to Light

Solar tracker design engineers face the challenge of selecting materials that can withstand harsh environmental conditions, including intense UV rays, dust, and abrasive contaminants. These materials must also be cost-effective and provide reliable performance over long periods with minimal maintenance. With solar energy generation becoming increasingly prevalent, engineers need durable, low-maintenance bearing solutions that can handle high loads and extended UV exposure.

Solar Tracker Applications:

Slew Drive
·    Linear Actuator
·    Shock Absorber/Damping Cylinder
·    Pivot Points

The GGB Advantage

Low Friction & High Wear Resistance

GGB bearings significantly reduce friction, minimizing wear and extending the lifespan of components even under harsh operating conditions, ensuring uninterrupted performance for solar trackers.

Maintenance-Free Operation

Designed for durability with minimal upkeep, GGB materials support continuous operation, cutting down on maintenance costs and time, and enhancing reliability over long periods.

Cost Efficiency

GGB’s bushings eliminate the need for complex grease paths, simplifying assembly and reducing system complexity, leading to a lower overall cost for solar tracker designs.

UV Resistance & Environmental Benefits

GGB materials are resistant to UV exposure, maintaining performance under harsh sunlight, while being greaseless, lead-free, and compliant with RoHS and environmental standards.
