Precision Gearboxes for Dual Axis Solar Trackers<\/h1>\n

The efficiency of the plants is crucial for the success of solar energy. For optimum energy output of solar thermal power plants, thousands of heliostats must be precisely adjusted to the position of the sun. Throughout the entire day, from dawn till dusk, the heliostat gear units work at highest precision. Thus, the products of AUMA Drives contribute to the success of the energy turnaround.<\/p>\n

The slewing gear unit<\/a> with primary planetary gearing was specially developed for this project. Apart from the development, the complete production was done in Coswig. A new production line perfectly adapted to the project requirements was designed by the AUMA Drives experts.<\/p>\n

Since then, the gear units have performed precise alignment of the heliostats to the solar thermal tower plant. They have been designed for decades of service life at both minimum gear backlash and maintenance efforts.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”fun-fact”]Self-locking design for transmission ratios ranging between i=52 and i=60[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”fun-fact”]Optimum design at minimised circumferential backlash (<1 mrad) at utmost rigidity[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”fun-fact”]Maintenance-free for a scheduled service life of 25 years[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”fun-fact”]Integral planetary gearing with a transmission ratio of i=211[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”fun-fact”]Quantity for projects >10,000 units can be implemented.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”hg-grau”][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_btn title=”Combine harvesters” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fauma-drives.com%2Fen%2Fcustom-gearbox-solutions%2Fagricultural-gearboxes%2F|title:Combine%20harvesters” el_class=”auma-btn-blau btn-nach-links btn-rot”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_btn title=”Tramways” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fauma-drives.com%2Fen%2Fcustom-gearbox-solutions%2Fheavy-duty-screw-jacks%2F|title:Tramways” el_class=”auma-btn-blau btn-rot”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
