GREEN LINE THE GREEN AND ECO-FRIENDLY SIDE OF MECVEL MecVel is in the linear automation industry since 1987, developing and producing technologies targeted to the renewable energies field and automations required by these applications. Specifically, the linear actuator is an electromechanical cylinder powered by an electric motor connected to a gearbox, which moves a series of gears and a push rod to transform the rotatory motion of the motor into a linear movement, with a load capacity up to 20 tons. Moreover, the customization service of the company allows to configure any product in order...

GREEN LINE FOCUS ON SUNTRACKERS Solar trackers can be with single and dual axis, and these tracking systems offer the highest efficiency: single axis solar trackers allow for an increase in terms of energy conversion up to 40% more than a fixed photovoltaic plant, while the highest increase (up to +50%) is provided by a dual axis system. In a single axis solar tracker the photovoltaic panel rotation is on one axis: on the vertical one, there is the so called “roll movement”, and this allows the continuous photovoltaic panel orientation and the slow but constant “chasing” of the sun during the...

GREEN LINE - ALI1-P linear actuator with parallel motor, for a further reduction of the overall dimension, with a “tie-rod” function, connected to a simple lever in order to amplify the handling of small photovoltaic panels or solar concentrator connected in line each other. • Max load: 2.500 N • Max speed: 2,8 mm/s • DC motor ALI3 E ALI3-S linear actuators applied directly to the structure of the module, for the handling of a single photovoltaic panel or solar concentrator. • Dynamic/static load: 6.500/8.000 N • Max speed: 5 mm/s • DC motor ALI4-P linear actuators applied directly to the structure...

GREEN LINE - HP5 • A static axial force up to 45000 N, HP5 is able to keep the load of the whole photovoltaic panel if the solar tracker is in “rest” or safety position • A dynamic force up to 15000 N even with long strokes (> 500 mm), maintaining extremely low both speed and consumption (2 mm/s and 6 A) • Max speed: 20 mm/s • The steel cross gearbox allows to directly transfer the motion from the motor to the push rod, without any loss in terms of efficiency • Parallel motor to the electric linear actuator body for a further reduction of the overall dimensions • Fixing system with adjustable...
