500–1000mm Stroke IP66 Linear Actuator for Solar Trackers

500–1000mm Stroke Linear Actuator for Solar Trackers

Long Stroke · IP66 Protection · 12V / 24V DC

Solar tracking systems may require different actuator travel depending on the tracker geometry, rotation range and mounting position. This page focuses on applications requiring approximately 500–1000mm stroke, with the final stroke and installation dimensions configured according to the tracker structure.

Designed for outdoor solar tracking applications, this actuator supports IP66 protection, 12V / 24V DC configurations and optional Hall sensor feedback. Stroke, operating load and installation dimensions should be evaluated together rather than selecting an actuator by stroke length alone.

Key Features

500–1000mm is the application range highlighted on this page. Final stroke and configuration depend on the tracker structure and project requirements.

Technical Specifications

*43,000N dynamic load and 150,000N static load represent the maximum capability of the actuator platform. Actual capability depends on stroke, installation geometry and operating conditions.

Why 500–1000mm Stroke Is Used in Solar Tracking Systems

The actuator stroke required by a solar tracker is determined by the mechanical relationship between the actuator mounting points and the required tracker movement. Two tracker structures with a similar rotation range may still require different actuator strokes because their mounting geometry is different.

For projects requiring approximately 500–1000mm of linear travel, the stroke needs to be checked together with the retracted length, extended length, available mounting space and operating load.

This is why TOMUU evaluates long-stroke applications according to the actual tracker structure rather than recommending one fixed actuator configuration based only on stroke length.

Dimensions & Installation

Stroke and installation dimensions need to be considered together. For 500–1000mm stroke applications, the final retracted and extended lengths depend on the actuator configuration and the mounting requirements of the tracker.

Dimensions shown are for reference. Final stroke and installation dimensions should be confirmed according to the selected configuration and tracker structure.

Designed for Solar Tracking Applications

A solar tracker actuator operates as part of the complete tracker structure. The required load can change with tracker geometry, actuator angle and operating position, which means stroke and load should be evaluated together.

IP66 protection supports outdoor solar tracking applications exposed to dust and rain, while IP68 configurations can be evaluated for specific project requirements.

12V and 24V DC configurations are available, with optional Hall sensor feedback when the tracking control system requires movement or position-related signals.

Project Applications

TOMUU linear actuators are used in solar tracking projects worldwide, supporting controlled movement and positioning of tracker structures under different project and environmental conditions.

R&D & Testing

Load · IP · Durability · Performance

Solar actuator development and verification include testing related to load, environmental protection, durability and operating performance. These tests support actuator evaluation for different tracker structures, stroke requirements and outdoor operating conditions.

Find the Right Solar Tracker Linear Actuator

For a 500–1000mm stroke solar tracker application, please provide the required stroke, operating load, installation dimensions, voltage, speed, feedback requirements and project quantity.

If the exact actuator stroke or installation dimensions have not yet been determined, a tracker drawing or mounting geometry can also be used as the starting point for evaluation.
