Linear Actuation systems must be efficient, precise, and durable enough to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. Parker Hannifin Corporation has developed a hybrid actuation system (HAS) that is ideal for renewable-energy actuation applications, such as those used with solar panels.
The new hybrid design combines the controllability of traditional electromechanical actuators with the power density, longer life, and resistive-force capabilities of traditional hydraulic systems. The result is an improved system for PV/CSP solar panel actuation with a wider range of benefits and capabilities.
- 25 Year Product Life -Industry leading warranty
- Single and Dual Axis Tracking
- No plumbing, hoses or oil needed, plug and play actuation
- Virtually maintenance free for low operating costs
Coupled with Advanced Sensor Technology
- Absolute Position Sensing (Intellinder)
- Condition & Diagnostics monitoring for preventive maintenance
(SensoNode Gold/SCOUT) - Universal Tilt Sensing
All wireless, including Bluetooth and "cloud-based" sensors
More efficiency, less maintenance, highly serviceable
- This high-efficiency, modular system allows for various traditional cylinder mounting configurations and stroke lengths.
- The hybrid design is a fully self-contained system with no hydraulic hoses or power units. Hybrid hydraulics achieve exceptional economies of scale, with the ability to move over a megawatt from a single point. This makes HAS a good choice for large or small arrays.
- Serviceability is built into the design. The system can be serviced on site, with simple line-of-use replacement, allowing for a quick change-out in the field. The system features simple, two-wire operation and is available with AC and DC supply voltages.
