Metal-polymer composite bearings are a cost-effective alternative for applications with minimum available space and a comparatively high sliding speed. In solar power plants, they can be used in the bearing supports of tracking systems, for example in the elevation axis. Our plain bearings are. . The specific low wear, low friction behavior of MN527 facilitates smooth function of the bearing and does not need frequent greasing or maintenance that is required with metal bearings. igus® products have long service lives, are very durable and are low in cost. Tracking systems that track solar panels as they follow the sun across the sky have long been available, but recent breakthroughs. . Dual axis mounts track both North and South and East and West to account for the ever-changing position of the sun during different seasons. Single axis mounts simply track the sun from east to west.
