Abstract: A drive arrangement is provided comprising at least one drive device, which is rotatable about a rotational axis, comprises at least one drive element and at least one retaining element, the drive element being arranged offset in the radial direction in relation to the retaining element, and at least one output unit, which is rotatable or pivotable about an axis, the output unit comprising at least one drive recess and at least one retaining recess, the drive element being associated with the at least one drive recess and engaging in the drive recess to drive the output unit, and the retaining element being associated with the retaining recess and engaging in the retaining recess to hold the output unit in a set position, the drive element having a cross section that is different from a circular cross section and that is curved at least in some sections, and/or the drive recess widening in the radial direction in order to define an entry opening for the drive element.

Abstract: A connecting element for connecting at least two profile elements, wherein the connecting element is rotatable about an axis of rotation to produce a clamping force, wherein the connecting element has at least one first connecting section and at least one second connecting section, which are each designed to be received in one of the profile elements, wherein the first connecting section has at least one first clamping face, wherein the at least one first clamping face has a predetermined clamping contour, wherein the second connecting section has at least one second clamping face, wherein the first clamping face faces the second connecting section and the second clamping face faces the first connecting section, wherein the first connecting section and the second connecting section are formed such that the profile elements connected by the connecting element extend obliquely relative to each other or crosswise.

Abstract: A pivoting unit for a tracking apparatus for solar modules, comprising at least one cross member pivotable about a pivot axis, at least one drive arch, which is connected to the at least one cross member and has a plurality of drive recesses and a plurality of retaining recesses, and at least one rotatably mounted drive unit, the rotatably mounted drive unit being designed such that it engages in at least one of the drive recesses of the drive arch in order to pivot the at least one cross member. The drive unit is designed in such a way that it engages in at least one of the retaining recesses in order to hold the cross member in a pivoted position.
