Beginning in the late 1970s, Peerless-Winsmith was
one of the early pioneers of solar gearing and drive product
development. Winsmith
Solar Tracking products utilize unique solar
tracking technologies developed at Peerless-Winsmith, Inc. and
Perfection Gear, Inc. These products
have come from nearly three decades of designing and engineering
products for a wide range of solar conversion applications. Our
unique Solar Tracking Drives are also the result of developing similar
products for other commercial industries, like the construction industry
and communication industry.
The products all have two main performance goals:
1.
High static load capabilities
2.
Reliable, long term operation under normal tracking conditions
Performance characteristics designed into all
products:
1.
High reliability
2.
High static stiffness
3.
Low maintenance requirements
4.
Self locking
Other important product characteristics included as
required are:
1.
High tracking accuracy
2.
Configuration choice
3.
Ratio range up to 50,000:1
4.
Compactness |
