Product catalog summary
Description and Applications
The Insolis 3 linear actuator by elero Linearantriebstechnik is designed for solar photovoltaic systems, enhancing the efficiency of solar tracking systems by aligning with the sun's position. It is available in eight versions, supporting both 24V DC and 230V AC, with options for electronic limit switches and position feedback encoders.

Technical Specifications
The actuator supports static loads up to 60,000 newtons and dynamic loads up to 10,000 newtons. It features a protection class of IP 65, ensuring dust and hose-proof protection. The actuator is maintenance-free and operates within a temperature range of -20 to +60 °C. Stroke lengths are available in 600, 800, and 1,000 mm, with stroke speeds of approximately 1.5 mm/s for AC and 1.8 mm/s for DC versions.

User Advantages
Key benefits include high static load capacity, corrosion resistance, reliability, modular integration, and cost-effectiveness. Actuators with electronic limit switches offer adjustable limits, overload protection, and stepless stroke length adjustment.

Protective Systems
Internal limit switches ensure movement between adjustable end positions, with undervoltage and overload protection to prevent damage.

Technical Data and Dimensions
The document provides detailed dimensions for various configurations, including stroke lengths and corresponding actuator dimensions. It also includes wiring diagrams for different versions, highlighting configurations with and without limit switches, feedback signals, and encoders.

Conclusion
The Insolis 3 actuator is an ideal solution for solar tracking systems, offering robust performance and adaptability for both elevation and azimuth movements in biaxial tracking systems.

Biaxial tracking movements Movements of solar modules Biaxial tracking systems offer the highest efficiency. This means that the tracking movements take place in two planes: “Elevation” refers to the vertical movement, while “Azimuth” refers to the horizontal movement. The Insolis 3 linear actuators can be used for Elevation and Azimuth.
