Product catalog summary
Overview
Joyce Dayton offers solar tracking solutions designed for precise positioning of solar equipment. Their products include solar actuators and jacks, which are engineered for efficiency and reliability in rugged environments.

Solar Tracking Actuators
These actuators are equipped with robust DC motors (24V or 36V) that minimize power consumption while maintaining constant travel speeds. They feature self-locking mechanisms, IP65 protection, and are lubricated for life. Key specifications include double clevis mounting, overload protection clutch, adjustable limit switches, and reed sensor feedback. Options include different voltages and stroke lengths.

Solar Tracking Jacks
Designed for heavy-duty applications, these jacks are available in machine screw and ball screw models. They offer configurations to meet specific customer needs and are built to withstand environmental challenges. Specifications include cast aluminum housing, up to 48 inches of travel, and optimized drive efficiency. Options include AC or DC motors and position sensors.

Machine Screw Jacks
These jacks are self-locking and can position loads at speeds up to 3.75 inches per minute. They are available in various models with different load capacities.

Ball Screw Jacks
These jacks require a brake motor to hold position and are designed for high efficiency. They also offer various models with different load capacities.

Performance Characteristics
The document provides detailed performance characteristics, including travel speed and current draw for different dynamic loads.
