FWA Series FWA14-2 Reducer Slewing Drive For Solar Industry
Rotary drive in the solar energy industry
This paper will discuss the market scale and technology of rotary drive in the solar energy industry. This product is used for solar tracking systems. These systems help to generate electricity from the sun. The driver helps generate electricity by rotating the solar panel. There are several benefits to using this product. In addition, the drive is cost-effective. Therefore, it is an excellent choice for the solar tracking system. However, its application in solar power generation may not be the most profitable market.
Rotary drive for solar power generation
The rotary drive device for solar power generation is a mechanical device for rotating a payload of a solar panel. The device allows the solar panel to follow the movement of the sun. In this way, solar energy can be generated at an optimal angle. The solar tracker also uses a rotary drive to rotate the solar panel. The rotary drive improves efficiency and reduces the cost of the solar power generation system.
Rotary drives are used in a variety of applications. The manufacturer is constantly developing and improving the rotary drive. This equipment also become more robust and have lower maintenance costs, thus reducing labor costs on site. Increasing development activities and the rise of renewable power plants have also contributed to the growth of the rotary drive market. The following sections provide an overview of the leading players in the swing drive market.
Rotary drive technology
At present, the rotary drive is applied in many industrial sectors, including the solar energy industry. However, they are costly and require frequent maintenance and lubrication. In addition, their replacement and remanufacturing costs are often high. However, as the demand for solar energy increases, the rotary drive market is expected to grow. This paper will discuss some significant factors that affect the market.
Rotary drives are used in many industries, including mining, construction, and metal processing. They can handle high loads while still providing smooth and consistent positioning. These actuators may be simple or complex with pneumatic or hydraulic motors. They are also universal and can be used in horizontal or vertical positions. For maximum efficiency, these drives can withstand high temperatures and pressures. In addition, they can withstand extreme temperatures.
Cost of rotary drive in solar power generation
In solar power generation, the rotary drive is a motor that allows the solar panel to rotate with the sun. The rotary drive is used in the solar power generation system with a panel size of 3 to 5 m2. For larger solar panels, a 9-inch or 10-inch swing drive is recommended. For solar panels of 40 to 60 square meters, it is recommended to use 14 inches or 16-inch rotary drive.
By 2020, the global rotary drive market is expected to reach the US $2 billion, and it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.5% from 2022 to 2027. This increase is mainly due to the growth of the construction industry and the adoption of solar energy as an alternative energy source in various countries. The Asia Pacific region is among the most prosperous regions in the rotary drive market. In 2020, single shaft rotary drives dominated the regional market. A rotary drive is a gearbox that transmits torque to rotate objects and safely maintain axial and radial loads.
The market scale of rotary drive in solar power generation
It is estimated that by 2026, the rotary drive market will reach the US $2177.9 million, with a CAGR of 2.8%. The market is expected to benefit from the increasing use of solar trackers, research and development activities, and the shift to sustainable energy. In addition, the increasing popularity of self-locking planetary gearboxes and solar trackers will stimulate the growth of this market.
