Products for Solar technic

The worldwide demand for regenerative energy is rapidly rising. Today more than 10% of the current consumption in Germany is provided by alternative energy production. Water and wind power are in the forefront, but solar power is gaining importance due to the efficiency of solar panels utilizing intelligent tracking systems. Solar panels deliver optimum performance when fully aligned with the sun.
To achieve this, the panel moves in two axes - (azimuth) and height (elevation). Solar panels with fixed mountings do not deliver their full potential. The performance improvement using a two-axis tracking system can be as much as 40%.

Framo is experienced in the design and manufacture of drives for solar tracking systems. With the Compacta series for azimuth tracking and the LiMax and Mini linear actuators, which are used for elevation tracking, a complete and fully developed drive system for different panel sizes is available.

For special applications and larger quantities, Framo is able to fully design and develop a system for a specific project.
The range of Framo components is comprehensive, from worm, spur, and planetary gears to complex drive systems.
Framo is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 and DIN EN ISO 14001:2005.

Framo products perform their tasks in photovoltaic and solar-thermal plants.

For the precise positioning of solar cells or reflectors in harsh environments Framo components and systems will ensure maximum performance.

	Worm gear sets
	Worm gear sets for high torque transmissions of up to 10.000 Nm dynamic and 20.000 Nm static loads are used for the azimuth-drive for tracking systems with panels up to 60 m2.
	Custom worm gear drive
	Tracking system for a transparent concentrator foil which is used for the energy generation for the desalination of seawater in greenhouses. The Concentrator foil allows diffused light through to plants below and focuses the direct sunbeam to photovoltaic units or solar thermal concentrators.
	Linear actuator LiMax-Solar
	Linear actuators for elevation adjustment of photo voltaic plants. Dynamic loads up to 20 kN, static loads up to 60 kN with up to 1500 mm stroke length.
	Custom linear actuators
	Open spindle drive for elevation adjustment of photo voltaic plants. Dynamic loads up to 10 kN, static loads up to 30 kN, stroke length of 800 and 1000 mm. Weather protection with bellows optional.
	Custom rotary drives
	High-precision actuator for the reflector adjustment in concentrator-plants. Max. 600 Nm torque with brushless DC-motor, CAN-bus control and high definition encoder on the output shaft. Link to the operating company Solar Powergroup.
