Abstract: A horizontal solar tracker (1) with a configuration that ensures the transmission of the turning movement generated by the drive element to the rotating beam and to the connecting rod-crank mechanism, prevents possible breaks and weaknesses in the joining areas, and is easy to transport. It comprises at least one front rotating beam (3) and at least one rear rotating beam (12) that can turn, joined by means of a connecting rod-crank mechanism (4). A drive assembly (2) generates the turning movement in a mobile element (22). The front rotating beam (3) has a first joining sector (31) that can be coupled to the mobile element (22) and the connecting rod-crank mechanism (4) comprises a tubular portion (42) that clasps the rotating beam (3) and a second joining sector (43) that can be coupled to the mobile element (22).

Abstract: A rotating support device for a torsion beam is be coupled to a support pillar, especially applicable in solar power plant installations which reduces the number of parts used and facilitates the assembly. The device has a clamp which can be coupled to the support pillar having a cylindrical inner area, a bushing intended to be positioned inside the clamp and which has the possibility of rotation together with the torsion beam with respect to the clamp and a retaining part which can be coupled in the slop which in an assembly situation protrudes in height with respect to the central sector of the clamp.
