  • Patent number: 8807839
    Abstract: A synthetic resin bearing for a photovoltaic tracking system includes first and second bearing members coupled with each other for forming a bearing assembly. Each of the first and second bearing members has a pair of side plate members facing each other. A friction member is positioned between outer peripheral portions of the pair of side plates has an arc-shaped section. A reinforcement member connects the pair of side plates and the friction member, and the first and second bearing members have a coupling protrusion and a concave portion for receiving the coupling protrusion.
