ARF08 single and dual axis solar rail linear actuators are key components used in solar panel tracking systems. By adjusting the angle of the solar panel to ensure it is always aligned with the sun, the efficiency of the photovoltaic system is maximized. A single axis solar track linear actuator refers to an actuator that can only move along one axis (east-west or north-south direction). This type of actuator is used in a single axis tracking system and can adjust the angle of the solar panel according to the daily path of the sun. A dual axis solar track linear actuator refers to an actuator that can only move along one axis (east-west or north-south direction). This type of actuator is used in a single axis tracking system and can adjust the angle of the solar panel according to the daily path of the sun. ARF08 single axis and dual axis solar track linear actuators are suitable for large solar power plants, as well as projects that require high power generation efficiency, such as commercial and industrial photovoltaic systems. Dual axis systems are particularly effective in high latitude areas because the solar altitude angle in these areas varies greatly, and dual axis systems can better adapt to these changes.

User manual:3. Connect the DC positive (+) power wire to terminal 1 and the DC negative (-) power wire to terminal 2 on the terminal block as shown below.4. Apply 12/24VDC to move the actuator; if the actuator moves in the direction opposite to that intended, reverse the red and black wires.
Reed Sensor (Optional)
1. Run two 22 gauge stranded shielded motor sensor wires through the locking grommet (green and brown shown).
2. Connect the sensors pulse and ground to terminals 3 and 4 as shown above.
3. Do NOT connect the 24-36V DC motor wires of the positioner to the reed sensor switch.
MOUNTING
1. Secure or remove the load before installation and ensure the mounting structure can support the possible load.
Put the actuator in the retracted position to position the load accurately with respect to the lifting screw centerline. Never pull
the translating tube to one side to make connection with your structure. Fully extend the actuator to make sure the load is
aligned with the translating tube.
3. Mount the actuator by securing the top mounting hole to a fixed position using 12mm diameter bolts. The stroke length of the
actuator (e.g. 18") and the limitations of the particular application will determine the location of the fixed mounting positions.
4. Locate the indluded electroplated mounting hardware (saddle clamp and two 12mm bolt assembly). The saddle clamp allows
the actuator to be mounted at any position along the length of the tube, which helps to accommodate a variety of mount types.
5. Slide the clamp down the shaft of the actuator to the desired mounting location on the shaft. The exact mounting location on
the shaft will depend on the mounting configuration of the end user. After the clamp is in the desired the location, securely
tighten the two nut/bolt pairs on the clamp. This will securely compress the clamp on to the shaft of the actuator
IMPORTANT: Confirm up/down movement of actuator is smooth and within actuators stroke length after installation.

LIMIT SWITCH - STROKE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION: Adjustment of limit switches on a linear actuator requires basic knowledge of geared electric motor functions. End users
lacking this knowledge are strongly advised to seek professional help when adjusting limit switches. Failure adjusting limit switches
properly can result in permanent damage to the linear actuator that is not covered under Windy Nation's warranty.
NOTE: The limit-switches are factory-set for stroke-length and protection of the motor unit against over-extending. Do not .
run the actuator until the limits switches are set properly (if the limit switches have been adjusted).

Check Upper Limit
1. If the actuator reaches the farthest extension point:
Remove the housing cover on the bottom of the linear actuator by removing the four screws.
b. Loosen the limit Lock screw as shown so the Limit Adjust can move freely, but do not remove.
C. Very slowly turn the Limit Adjust counter-clockwise (i.e. moving towards the upper limit switch) %4 turn.
d. Tighten the limit Lock screw and replace the housing cover.
2. If the actuator cannot reach the farthest extension point:
a. Remove the housing cover on the bottom of the linear actuator by removing the four screws.
b. Loosen the limit Lock screw as shown so the Limit Adjust can move freely, but do not remove.
C. Loosen the limit cam screw, but do not remove.
d. Very slowly turn the Limit Adjust clockwise (i.e. Moving away from the upper limit switch) in small increments to
extend the actuator slowly. Do not allow the actuator to extend all the way out.
Check to see if the actuator can now reach the farthest extension point. If it can, follow procedures in step 1 to
set the upper limit. If it does not you may need a longer actuator.
f. Tighten the limit Lock screw and replace the housing cover.

What is the adaptability of ARF08 single-axis and dual-axis solar track linear actuators under different environmental conditions?

The ARF08 single- and dual-axis solar rail linear actuators are designed to ensure superior performance in a wide range of environmental conditions. As a manufacturer, we attach great importance to the adaptability of our actuators to different climate conditions, especially extreme weather, humidity changes, and other potential environmental challenges. Therefore, during the design and manufacturing process, we have adopted a series of advanced technical measures to ensure the stability and durability of the ARF08 actuator.

In terms of material selection, the ARF08 actuator uses high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to cope with different environmental challenges. For example, the casing and main structural components are made of specially treated aluminum alloy or stainless steel, which have excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance. During the manufacturing process, we have performed anti-corrosion treatment on these materials to prevent salt spray, acid rain and other harsh environments from corroding the equipment. This treatment can significantly improve the actuator's durability in marine environments, industrial environments or high-humidity environments.

Secondly, in order to cope with extreme temperature conditions, the ARF08 actuator is designed with a wide operating temperature range. The key components of the actuator, such as the motor and transmission system, have undergone rigorous temperature testing to ensure that they can operate stably in high or low temperature environments. We also consider the impact of thermal expansion and contraction on the equipment in our design, and reduce deformation or performance degradation caused by temperature changes by optimizing material selection and structural design. The actuator's sealing design is also specially designed to prevent heat or cold air from extreme temperatures from affecting internal components.

In terms of dust and water resistance, ARF08 actuators have a high level of protection, usually reaching IP65 or higher. An IP65 rating means the actuator is completely protected from the ingress of dust and can withstand water jets from any direction without damage. This design ensures that the device can operate normally in dusty, humid or rainy environments. In order to further enhance the protective performance, we use high-quality rubber seals and sealants on the connections and seals of the actuator to ensure that there will be no problems with water leakage or dust ingress during long-term use.

During the design process, we also incorporated wind-resistant design to handle strong winds or adverse weather conditions. Especially in the structural design of the dual-axis actuator, we have optimized the support system and connections to ensure that it can withstand large wind loads. By using high-strength support rods and reinforced structures, the ARF08 actuator can maintain stable working conditions in environments with high wind speeds, avoiding positioning errors or equipment damage caused by excessive wind.

In addition, the electrical system of the ARF08 actuator has also undergone strict protection design. We use high-quality cables and connectors and treat them to be waterproof and dustproof to ensure the electrical system will work properly in a variety of environmental conditions. The design of the motor and control system fully considers thermal management issues and is equipped with effective heat dissipation devices to prevent overheating from negatively affecting equipment performance.

How does the intelligent control system of the ARF08 single-axis and dual-axis solar rail linear actuators achieve efficient sunlight tracking?

The intelligent control system of the ARF08 single- and dual-axis solar track linear actuators is the key to efficient solar tracking. As a manufacturer, we have taken a series of technical measures during the design and application of the control system to ensure that the actuators can achieve precise sunlight tracking, maintain efficient energy conversion rates, and optimize the overall performance of the system.

The intelligent control system of the ARF08 actuator is based on advanced control algorithms and is able to calculate and adjust the optimal angle of the solar panel in real time. Control systems often incorporate high-precision sensors that accurately measure the sun's position and light intensity. The single-axis actuator tracks the sunrise and sunset through east-west angle adjustment, while the dual-axis actuator achieves optimal tracking throughout the day through dual adjustments in east-west and north-south directions. The control system performs real-time calculations based on sensor data to ensure that the panels maintain the optimal angle to the sun's rays at different times of the day.

In order to achieve high precision and fast response, the ARF08 actuator uses a high-performance servo motor and precision transmission system. These servo motors are able to provide high torque and high-precision angle control, and enable fine adjustments through precision ball screw or gear transmission systems. The high-precision design of the motor and transmission system ensures that the actuator can maintain stable operation under small angle changes, avoiding positioning deviations caused by mechanical errors or friction.

Intelligent control systems also include feedback control mechanisms. The actuator is equipped with position feedback sensors, such as encoders or potentiometers, which can monitor the actual position of the actuator in real time and feed the data back to the control system. Through closed-loop control, the system can compare the target position and the actual position in real time and make necessary adjustments. This feedback mechanism can significantly improve the accuracy of the system, reduce positioning errors, and promptly correct any deviations during equipment operation.

During the design process, we also considered the responsiveness of the system. The control system of the ARF08 actuator uses a high-speed data processing chip and real-time control algorithm, which can complete data processing and send adjustment instructions in a very short time. This high response speed ensures that the actuator can quickly follow the sun's position changes, maximizing energy absorption.

In addition, the ARF08 actuator supports multiple control modes, such as manual control, automatic control and remote control. In automatic control mode, the actuator automatically adjusts its position based on preset algorithms and sensor data, while remote control mode allows users to control and adjust the actuator through the network or other remote devices. This flexible control method allows users to choose the most appropriate control mode according to actual needs and application scenarios, further improving the system's intelligence level and operational convenience.

During the application process, in order to ensure the accuracy and response speed of the actuator, we also provide detailed debugging and calibration guides. Users can perform preliminary debugging and accuracy calibration of the actuator according to these guidelines to ensure its best performance in actual use. We also provide technical support and services to help users solve technical problems encountered during installation and use, ensuring that the ARF08 actuator can always maintain efficient tracking performance.
