Efficiency and cost-effectiveness are the top priorities in energy generation, especially when optimizing solar systems. To minimize the cost per kilowatt hour, the components used must not only be durable and robust against environmental influences such as the weather, but also space-saving and lightweight. This places high demands on the bearings and guide systems used, which must also be able to adapt the movement of the solar panels precisely and reliably to the course of the sun.

Franke wire race bearings offer precisely the solutions that are needed in this industry. Our bearing elements are not only extremely economical, but can also be flexibly adapted to the specific requirements of the surrounding structure. The large center clearance of our bearings allows for optimal drive design, resulting in space-saving and high-performance solutions. In addition, our products are perfectly tailored to individual requirements thanks to the free choice of material and geometry.

• Thanks to their high level of integration capability, our wire race bearings and linear guidance systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and therefore offer maximum flexibility for customer-specific solutions.
• Whether special materials or adapted designs - we offer customized solutions that are precisely tailored to the requirements of the solar industry.

Compact design - minimal installation space

Franke Wire Race Bearings are characterized by high efficiency and flexible adaptability to specific environmental requirements. They require minimal installation space and can support loads from all directions. The large center clearance of our bearings allows an optimized drive design, which enables the integration of compact and highly efficient system solutions.

In solar panels, Franke Wire Race Bearings take over the sun tracking and move the large panels safely and precisely. Torque loads, such as those caused by high wind loads, are absorbed without any problems.
