A: Duty cycle is the working cycle of a motor. A DC motor is installed in the linear actuator, it has a duty cycle which is its continuous operation time/(continuous operation time + rest time)
A: The actuator’s self-locking function will prevent the back rest from reclining in case of power interruption.
A: 1. Built-in limit switch; 2. Hall sensor; 3. Overcurrent protection
A: Linear actuators will work safely at any temperature between -40℃~65℃
A: 12 months or negotiate with the premise of working under the condition of a rated duty cycle
A: Optional signal feedback form: Hall sensor, Potentiometer, and Reed sensor
A: While new drive technologies continue to enter the market, proven mechanical actuator designs remain essential in many industrial applications. Engineers often choose traditional industrial linear actuators because they offer reliable performance, straightforward maintenance, and practical cost control.
A: Actuator reliability depends on whether the design is properly matched to the working environment. Key factors include sealing protection, mechanical strength, load capacity, and long-term resistance to dust, moisture, and outdoor exposure.
A: Choosing between fixed-tilt structures and solar tracking systems is not simply a matter of selecting the more advanced technology. The right choice depends on the project’s full lifecycle return, including energy yield, initial investment, site conditions, and long-term operation and maintenance costs.
We can weigh the options and make the optimal choice by considering the following three core dimensions:
| Evaluation Dimension | Solar Tracking | Fixed Tilt |
| Energy Yield & Electricity Tariff | Tracks the sun throughout the day to increase energy generation per module. In areas with high land costs, low curtailment, or higher electricity tariffs during peak periods, the added power generation can help shorten the payback period. | Energy generation is limited by the fixed module angle, resulting in lower overall yield compared with tracking systems. |
| Initial Investment & Structure | Requires a more complex structure, including drive mechanisms, sensors, and control systems, which increases equipment and installation costs. | Features a simple and durable structure with lower upfront investment and more flexible requirements for terrain and slope. |
| Long-Term O&M (Operations & Maintenance) | Contains moving parts, so maintenance planning, local labor costs, and environmental conditions must be carefully evaluated. | Has few or no moving parts, offering low and predictable long-term operation and maintenance costs. |
There is no single solution that fits every project. For projects focused on maximizing energy yield per unit and supported by favorable electricity tariffs and strong expected returns, solar tracking systems can deliver better long-term value. Conversely, for projects with limited budgets, complex terrain, remote locations, or difficult maintenance conditions, fixed-tilt mounting structures may offer a more practical and cost-effective option.
