  • Patent number: 11996801
    Abstract: A plurality of posts and actuator posts connected to a foundation and to a torque tube on which solar panels are duly mounted is disclosed. The actuator posts include a hinge next to a radial arm that is disposed solidly connected to the torque tube, the arm being hinged at the other end to a linear actuator with screw drive, the bottom end is connected to the actuator post by a joint. Each linear actuator is actuated by a gear that engages with an endless screw solidly connected to a Cardan-type drive shared by all the actuators and is actuated by an electric motor, the Cardan-type drive fitting closely to the torque tube by supports.

  • Publication number: 20230407908
    Abstract: A bearing for fastening rotating shafts on support posts is provided, having a support (1) by which a clamp (3) is fastened on the support post (2), incorporating in the clamp (3) a ball joint (4.1) through which the rotating shaft (5) to be fastened passes, wherein the support (1) is made up of two complementary portions, which are axially attached facing one another, retaining the support post (2) between them, whereas on the assembly of the mentioned support (1) there is fixed a clamp (3) which houses internally a spherical ball joint (4.1) which determines a central opening through which the rotating shaft (5) to be fastened passes.

  • Publication number: 20230396211
    Abstract: A damping system of a solar tracker is provided, having at least one damper has a rod, an upper tie and a lower tie located at the end of the damper opposite the upper tie; where the upper tie is fixed by an upper support to a rotation shaft of the solar tracker, and where the lower tie is fixed by a lower support to a column of the solar tracker, so that with the rotation of the rotation shaft, the rod of the damper is caused to retract or extend, characterized in that the upper support has a lever comprising at least one end protruding from the rotation shaft with at least two securing points at which the upper tie of the damper is fixed by an upper shaft of the upper tie which is fixed at the at least two securing points of the lever.
