Overview
Solar & Renewable Energy
Single-axis solar trackers turn rows of panels to follow the sun, and their drives must hold position against wind. Worm drives give the high reduction and self-locking this needs; leadscrew actuators are used for tilt adjustment.

Applications in Solar & Renewable Energy
Slew drives for solar trackers
Worm gear slew drives rotate single-axis tracker rows to follow the sun and lock them against wind.
Leadscrew linear actuators
How to choose the leadscrew and nut for a motor-driven linear actuator: lead for speed, self-locking for holding, diameter for length and load, and the right nut for accuracy and wear.
