| Work Detail | igus South Africa has announced the introduction of its new polymer bearings for solar power generation with a vastly improved lifespan and little to no need for maintenance. Solar panels need to track the sun for maximum efficiency. Bearings used in the alignment of solar panels with the sun usually get worn out rather quickly and require regular maintenance to operate for any length of time in the harsh, arid and dusty climates where solar farms are traditionally located. These bearings are typically the only moving parts in the system and therefore need to be maintained well. As a result, polymer bearing manufacturer igus South Africa has worked with some of the country’s top design engineers to solve the problem by introducing its no-maintenance long-life pillow block bearing. |
